objective measurement, namely forward gain in dBi with any  pertinent

an antenna and I'm enjoying the various opinions. It would  be
interesting to compare those opinions with the specs...
 
You want real measurements? N0AX and I spent a lot of time testing HF  yagis 
and verticals on the air and compared them to a reference antenna.  The 
results are published in a couple of books available from _www.championradio.com_
