Of course, the KT has a good F/B also; that makes a big difference
in your perceived comparison to a dipole. That is, even without "high"
gain, you do hear the DX better as noise from the sides/rear is down
a good bit from what would be picked up with a dipole or vertical.
We do better than some think with just a "few" dbd gain.

PS: My tribndr is a Mosley TA-34-XL, and it is sure better than any
of my wires, including 600 foot leg V-beams, but the V's form
no useful pattern for me on the tri bands. Have been fascinated by
the data/comparisons given in Feb and March CQ-Contest re: the
vetical antenna types, elevated radials, et al, by the 6Y4A
expeditioners. Amazing performance 160 thru 10 meters!
