... so I'll give you that one even though I never claimed it would. Happier now?

Sorry, I thought you were claiming equal magnitudes of noise for two
dissimilar antennas.

You seem like a guy who'd pick a fight with his own shadow sometimes,

Sorry, I seem to have inferred something you didn't mean to imply.
I believe I can prove the difference in the two antennas using EZNEC
but not until I get back to my home computer.
