[Towertalk] modeling info

Unfortunately this is true of many things in life.  Sort of like some of the people you work with who are incompetent but have a way of saying the buzz phrases that impresses others.  But, in the end outcomes as in antenna performance is what counts.  Unfortunately hyperbole will not work the DX or improve your contest score except for the possible placebo effect of making you more confident at what you are doing!

Tom Frenaye points out that M2 did submit modeling data for some of their 
antennas, and were allowed to run gain figures in their ads.  He's right, 
and I apologize for being over-categorical.

I found one M2 ad, in March 2000, which gives gain figures on their 
monobanders, but nothing before or since.
It's a sad commentary on the state of amateur antenna marketing, but it 
appears that hyperbole sells more antennas than true gain figures...
