Won't the vertical collinear still win over the dipole because of gain,
on the order of 3-6 dbd?

Now somewhere I've seen a center-fed horizontal antenna. something like
a double Zepp, but in addition to feeding the two halfwaves on each
side, there is additional halfwave sections added to each end via 1/4
wave phasing harnesses, or maybe I'm just imagining something from an
old antenna handbook.
