I have had some great QSOs on a dipole, but I understand why you'd feel that way. When we've used antennas with greater gain a dipole can seem a step backward.

One of the EFHWs I made was fitted with a proper set of radials. After meticulously tuning it with the GP in place it proved a fine antenna.
