Unfortunately, the Tennadyne Antenna Fact #5 has a significant error.
It calculates the Gain factor "G" using dBd and not dBi. Using dBd
understates the gain factor by 2.1 dB (or about 60%). That makes a
difference of about 16% in the final "radius" which could be fairly
significant with high gain antennas.
