I appreciate the URL. I know this thread is getting old, but for what it is
worth, there was a heck of a write-up in an IEEE meeting in 1994 or 1995
concerning Poynting theorem and the fact that antennas can be built that are
very small and have gain. We then had the cross-field antenna and now the
E-H antenna. In theory, this can be done; we are just waiting for a
practical antenna. There are claims; I just wish I could test a couple of
them in an anechoic chamber as well as mounted high against standard
antennas. The cross-field and E-H antennas arguments are starting to become
as heated as the code/no code arguments amongst amateurs (and others).

73 & thanks for the URL from Rochester, NY

No, I don't. I specifically said I wasn't sure and I had heard - and I
checked commercial sites as well as amateur and this is what I came up
with:

The discone antenna is a broadband unity gain (ZERO dB) antenna.

A bit of decent science done:
