In itself, a model is simply not sufficient. The antenna should
be tested on a antenna range. I find it hard to believe that the
antenna companies cannot afford a few acres of land. The SEVHF
society every year gets to use the VHF/UHF range at Dobbins AF
base, and of those few commercials tested, none of them come
close to the gain figures, while the carefully built homebrews
are really
something.
