What kind of gain readings are you getting now?

We didn't measure gain, but we did measure F/B. Gain is rather difficult to pin down. Even F/B is tricky -- there was at least 6dB of QSB on the rear setup (with the 71 degree line traded to the other element). Measurement distance was 5 miles mid-afternoon.

BTW -- many thanks for all the helpful ideas.
