Oops! Thanks for the quick response!
That should have read "I can't believe the shorter antenna has MORE
gain". I am not normally troubled by such small differences in db's
but for that small of a gain difference and that large of a physical
difference (104 feet!) I am certain I have missed more than a decimal
point.

Hi John,

Well, this still does not tell us how you got here, only that when you
did you immediately stumbled.

Could it be that you inverted the results too? You know, it would
make more sense as an explanation than anything else.

Besides, if you skip the losses, the two will have such similar gain
figures that no one would be surprised by the razor thin margin of
difference.
