Funny: try as hard as I can,with EZNEC, can come up with
4.12 dBD gain, and a f/b ratio of 1.44 dB (in free space), and at 20 ft elevation, has about .1 dB gain over the free space amount from ground reflections! Does this mean that EZNEC has a BUG ?? I don't think so! And, at the price- could double the amount and get a antenna with REAL gain! As for me , I'll stick with my 7 El M2, with "only" 10.5 dBd gain ! I'd like to see the field, and equipment that was used to measure that 12 dBd gain-- I don't think so!

I had a look at the referenced website which claimed up to 4db gain in
several directions but NEVER 12 db gain over a dipole. Now here I realise it comes down to semantics. 12db gain over the ENDS of a dipole. Yes. 12db gain over a dipole lying on the back lawn. Perhaps. 12db gain over a similarly installed height, rotatable dipole. No way in Hades. It's a lot for a 40m end fed dipole which, by the way, is what I am using on 6m at present.

But why is there an insulator at the FEEDPOINT of the antenna?

According to the text, I believe the feedpoint insulator is actually an insulating sleeve to get the antenna inside the author's attic. Basically it appears to be nothing but a 65 foot long wire for 6 meters. If I attached a 65 foot wire to the random wire terminal of my antenna tuner, I'm guessing I'd have the same thing. And I'd save $140 :-) bob k5qwg In message , nana writes I had a look at the referenced website which claimed up to 4db gain in several directions but NEVER 12 db gain over a dipole.

Wow,
So tell me princess, will you lick the sweat off my sack after I install this antenna, or will you be busy servicing the boyz on channel 20? With luv, your Pimp!
