Really, full bloom? That's hard to believe when I compare it to the much fuller SGM bloom, or perhaps I'm seeing the extra gain of a 5/8 over a 1/2...?

I see it but I see only a sliver of color not a nice thick bloom, which to me shows only a little energy, as in minimal added gain and definitely not the level I'd want to see if I was designing it for noticeably superior performance, - compared to the SGM, for instance.

Makes me wish I still had it so I could measure the X to see if X=0 at 1:1 SWR.
