BTW SW, I read about professional antenna designer discussing the merits of unity gain antennas all the time regarding higher frequency service. I can only assume that in many instances there can be advantages to an antenna with a bit broader lobe of maximum RF at all angles on or near the horizon and even a bit higher. I can't prove such ideas, but when I look at such patterns I often wonder what is being missed with a high gain antenna that has a deep null at some important angle necessary to reach a specific point. I'm just thinking out loud, but I do wonder.
