Eddie.
Just noticed you thought i liked 5/8 groundplanes,
its true i own a few and have owned many in the past,
I liked them until i bought my 1st sigma4,

Since i found out WHY a 5/8 has a little more gain than a 1/2wave on the same pole i have been saying theres nothing special about 5/8waves,
The problem is nobody makes a low loss durable 1/2wave.

I have two verticals that for me outperform a 5/8

I owned other antennas in the past i wish id kept hold of that i never tested at the same tip height,
I think you can guess what they are.
