Hey Doc,

Somethings not right!

Looking at the two radiation plots the horizontal looks to be a dipole, whereas the vertical appears to be a ground mounted 1/4 wave vertical. This would account for the stronger gain for the dipole vs the half of a dipole (1/4 wave ground plane) for the vertical pattern. I think a dipole would have the same gain vertically or horizontally mounted, but the patterns don't match up as that to me. Do you agree?

Mike
