What I find funny about all of these different antenna designs is how they all try to re-invent the wheel but when you look at the elevation patterns they're all basically identical to each other give or take fractions of a dB which is kind of what you'd expect given that for all that extra metal that's supposed to make them work better than X or Y antenna they're still a 1/2, 5/8 wave etc monopole vertical.

Any differences when it comes to verticals are effectively undetectable in real world use and you're as well just saving your money and buying the best constructed antenna you can rather than the one with the most bits hanging off it making performance promises that only have validity in the marketing department.

Hell you may as well just go for a simple quarter wave groundplane antenna because at the lowest take off angles the difference is a couple of dB at best but for short range DX contacts within a few hundred miles the quarter wave is likely to do better. You don't need to worry about the wind, water getting in joints etc because you can make the vertical section out of a single piece of aluminium.
