Did some testing and I don't have as much directivity but I sure as
heck have plenty of gain with this setup. I might have to get a
loop

Kurt,

Congratulations on your success.

Gain and directivity are related, Gain=Directivity/Loss, or in dB,
Gain(dB)
=Directivity(dB)-Loss(dB).

So whilst it is possible to have gain without directivity (due to
high loss), the reverse doesn't happen.

Hi Owen

I wonder if I misunderstand. I would think there could alot of ...

No, I messed the words up... it should read:

That makes more sense doesn't it.
