I did some more tinkering with these two. Looks like the biquad also
has holes in the gain plot, but shows more gain at more frequencies
than the discone. I changed the characteristic impedance of the
biquad to 150 ohms to get a better looking VSWR. Real ground and
animated GIF's of the biconical antenna when I have more time.

Diamond D-130 discone antenna model borrowed from:

I don't recall where I found the biconical.
