So Cecil, that is what I mean about supplying relevant data ...

Well, in a nutshell, I route my dipole such that the four 11 dBi lobes on
10m are aimed at the English speaking land masses of the world. That works
like a charm (for me). If I ever have trouble reading someone, I switch
over

Cecil now you have decided to add to your original statement regarding
comparisons
and whoa you switch over to other means of communication when this antenna
lets you down so badly , so having a back up like a phone makes the antenna
worthwhile as a comparison with other antennas and you are admitting your
previous info was misleading at best.
to my rotatable dipole with only a 9 dBi gain and TOA of 10 deg to see if
the QSO can be improved. I seriously doubt that any vertical monopole can
beat my rotatable dipole with 9dBi gain and TOA of 10 degrees. I also
doubt that any two element vertical phased array can beat 9 dBi at 10 deg
Now you are at it again, you didn't mention anything about the length of
your "simple dipole and yet you doubt that any two element ( why two
elements) can beat 9 dbi at 10 degrees. You are suddenly believing your own
misleading words, since you play games with the lengths in a simple diameter
others can play the same silly game, two vertical elements surely can beat
your antenna if they follow your rules,an element or dipole description in
no way places a restriction on length. So your response is not just a
nutshell as you stated, you are just playing nuts. But you are not alone
inthis comparison game,somebody stated he read somewhere that the dipole was
such and such efficient which is absolutely silly if that is all you
remember since you have to know efficiency over what! Surely he could have
introduced some thoughts of his own like compared to a broom stick but no,
suffice enough that he read that little bit in a book!
Again nothing personal but I agree with Mark these discussions are not
worthy of you when ambiguety is deliberately inserted purely to win a debate
rather than advance the cause of science. Cecil you are smart enough to
discuss most things on its merits, why stoop to the level of some who prefer
to supply monologues onEHantennas
or something else to prove theycan fill a page with garbage and trick others
to read it ?
Best regards and I do mean it as this is not meant to be a personal attack
