Default Gap Antenna

I picked up a used one last sprng, set it up about 3 ft off the ground in
the back yard...and took it back down within a couple of weeks.
Signals were way down compared to my 450 ohm ladder line fed 80 meter
doublet on all bands.
I remade the Titian into a 40 ft vertical dipole that I use on 40 thru 10
meters, fed with twin lead, and much better results.

Anyone have experience with GAP Antennas? On paper they look almost too
good
to be true, but I know that word of mouth can be more informative. All
comments welcomed.
