WOW!

I have a .61 wavelength 4 element beam that's only a dB or so better!
What the heck does this design look like?

It includes ground gain. However if they want to play this game, an
isotropic antenna has a gain of 6dBi, which gets you back to 3.9dBi, but
even that is pushing it for a 1/2 over a 1/4 , unless you can get it up
at a few hundred feet. :-)
