I think the responsible manufacturers don't make any ridiculous claims about
gain. Tennadyne, for example, rates the T6 (12' boom, 6L 14-30 MHz) at
5.1dBd and BW = 57 degrees, and it's very much bigger brother T12 (30' boom,
12L 14-30 MHz) at 6.5 dBd and on 20m. Yet, the signals emanating from
these antennas are frequently stronger than signals from similarly located
stations using bigger stuff. Why that is, is the question.
I don't have the answer.
