"I wonder what his 6 dB gain is" There is a "Super J" antenna on page 16-27 of the 19th edition of the "ARRL Antenna Book". The book says the two stacked 1/2-wave collinear elements provide about 6 dB gain over a 1/4-wave whip antenna and about 3 dB gain over a 5/8-wave antenna. I won`t speculate that you actually get more gain from (2) stacked 5/8-wave sections, but it`s possible. Maybe 3 dB more, like a single 5/8-wave over a single 1/4-wave. 6 dB over a 1/4-wave whip is 8.14 dBi. The 1/4-wave whip has a gain of 2.14 dBi Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI |
