The second antenna would be the other person's helping with the test. If they too have a wide angle 1/4 wave, your 1/4 wave is more likely to give them a better signal because it responds to wider angles on local signals.


With respect to the Gain-Master coming in 2 to 5 S-units lower then a 1/4 wave, there are no two omni directional base CB antennas with this much difference on the market. Sounds like inaccurate reports or the GM was real low to the ground.
