Excellent! My only reservation is the specific location as that could have easily favored one antenna's signal over the other due to the null factor. Even moving 1/8 wave toward or away from that spot might have changed the results in the direction of favoring the opposite antenna.

What about during the trip, did you get any impression (whilst still moving) that one was consistently significantly stronger than the other?

And regarding a lower TOA, I believe the lower it is, the better, - especially for contacts past 10-15 miles, unless it drops below 0* like a mountain-top repeater downward sloping antenna pattern.
