No that is not the gain I listed. There is enough misinformation going
around already with respect to units. As a contributor you should correct
with reasons explaining why .
That way we all learn.

No Tom I was not bragging. I consider the issue closed( Closure but
without finality.)
I really was expecting an analytical response to be put on the table
Apples to Apples, which would expose the wetness behind my ears.
It suddenly came to me that my analytical expectations were too high.
Not your fault, but mine !
Because of your many postings of wisdom I assumed (wrongly ?)it was
based on a formal education . Tho I am sure that you see the pieces
of meat that you threw on the table as the roaring bull antenna ,
without true analysis and presented cohesive data, a third person
could readily deduce that, without verification, the image presented in
rebuttal
could be nothing more than a deaf cockerel that only crows in the
middle of the night!
This is not, at least to me, the formal way of comparitive analysis,
one you would follow in any normal type of publication
Even so, I envy your extensive knoweledge ,experiences and obvious
achievements,
which I can never match.
I am also reconciled to the idea that the many questions posed in
this thread, that has meandered thru three or more
separate titles, will have to go unanswered for the present .
I am sure I will chase you in a game of musical chairs in the future
but it will be in a less serious but fun attitude
Thanks for sticking with me. I will go to the archives and review
the threads in totality with a different frame of mind.
Now get involved with the endless quad/yagi debate while I watch
from afar with a cup of coffee. If I am viewed as 'comical' that
thread could become hillarious !
Best Regards and personal respect
