[VHFcontesting] Antenna stacking question

[David L. Martin]

When you stack antennas you get a gain of a little below 3dB, twice the
antenna equals twice the signal.  Makes sense.

Do stacked antennas with a combined gain equal to a much longer antenna
have a wider beam than the longer single antenna?

You guys probably already know this, but I just recently began to
suspect it.  I would like to hear someone confirm or deny it.
