Are you referring to CQ magazine since QST doesn't print gain figures
(unless verifed by computer modeling)? Why would you believe their figures
anyway? They don't have an antenna range so I don't think you'd get any
meaningful info anyway.
Why don't you pick up the N0AX and K7LXC tribander comparison test that
included the TH11? This is REAL data - not manufacturer's hype.
