Jeff,
Your understanding is the same as mine, and your earlier post about
vertical pattern is also right on. I'm simply observing the critical
importance of soil quality on the gain (and vertical pattern) of
vertical antennas. At any given QTH, and for any given antenna farm,
these are the things that are best learned from lots of A/B comparisons
of antennas under different conditions. We know, for example, that paths
exist at different vertical angles under different propagation
conditions. The path to a given DX location may be low angle at one time
and higher angle at another time.

Jim I don't think that Tim is saying the 4sq is 6 dB better than his
beams. I read that as a 4sq is around 6dB of gain on a model. Maybe
I'm reading that wrong. Pretty sure if it was 6 dB better than a set
of tall stacks the entire world would be running 4sq on 40m and few
would be using beams.
