Back in the early 80's (?), article was published in one of the ham mags,
by well-known ham believe it was N6 (something). He had taken a 2-el quad
on a trailer crank-up, as his reference antenna, set it up a short distance
from various stations he tested. Took DX sig readings on a reference rig
switching back/forth between his reference antenna and the station's
antenna being tested. IIRC, the winner of that study was 6-el KLM
monobander...
