Yep, I guess you could call me biased...I'd even take this farther and

have trouble beating the elevated vertical I had on long paths.


But, Mark, you are neglecting physical efficiency. Divide the performance
by the amount of metal required for each antenna and see what you get. :-)
My dipole uses 1/2WL of wire. Your vertical uses how many wavelengths of
wire?
