Sure, as soon as I try to make you King you find work for me :-)

I hate to tell you this, but that's what kings are paid to do. They
give orders. Do you require a public proclamation, executive order,
or pontifical bull (in Latin), in order to be properly inspired? Now,
pleae do some testing. After all this is your antenna, your question
and your problem.

Ya, I have quad panel on the boat, when I get some time I'll try the
comparision.

Doing it on a boat might be a problem. You're too close to the water
which will probably be inside the Fresnel Zone. The water also acts
as a great reflector. Thinks also move on a vessel, making stable
readings difficult. I do my testing across a valley, where there's
little chance of ground reflections (and there's a convenient 2.4GHz
RF source from the local mountain top WISP). The path also has a wall
of 40 meter high trees on both side to attenuate any interference.
