Here is exactly what the engineer said about the mast with the Vector. "Considering also the installation, the small current that descends on the first part (the most important) of the mast, near the antenna, it's in phase (another small extra gain) That is not true for a standard 5/8 Lambda". If I understand this correctly he's not saying the entire length of a long mast would be in phase. I think he's saying that the currents are strongest where the antenna meets the mast and this section would be in phase. That kind of indicates a "tuned" length of mast might be ideal.
