Cecil, is that not a driven collinear array?

In which case, it is a phased vertical array, not a dipole. With
a spacing of 1/8WL, one can get 4 dB gain that way.


In your dreams.


I'm dreaming of The ARRL Antenna Book, 15th edition, page 8-6. Spacing
1/8WL,
phasing=135 deg, Gain = 4.1 dB. Remember, this is for two 10m verticals
mounted
in line with the vehicle, not one on each side of the vehicle. It is
essentially
a two element vertical beam with a cardioid radiation pattern and a large
front/back ratio.
