I just ginned up a 5 foot tall antenna with 3.8 dBi gain. That's
half the height and considerably more gain than a 1/4WL whip.
With more time, I could do better.

What is the dBi gain of a 1/4 ground plane?

Rule of thumb: zero dBi

Hi Buck,

-0.22dBi to +2.2 dBi depending on the proximity of ground and the
level of screening with radials.

I take it that +2.2 is with radials on an elevated ground plane?
