So let me understand these readings you made... the DLX antenna was
your baseline?

Yes. It was the lowest and became the reference

Uh Tnom, you can't make something a reference AFTER the
test. That's not how you do a baseline.

What? You can reference anything you want. Antenna manufacturers do it
all the time. How do you think an Anrton gets its numbers?

Do you even know what a db is?
