Just a thought.
Signals coming in the same for a 5/8 wave and a 1/4 wave antenna is as likely a matter of where he signals are coming from as gain, ie TOA.

My half wave vertical dipole is receiving at certain times of the day as well as my Moxon, but despite arguments to the contrary, although the meter on the radio says the signals are the same, the Moxon is clearer and louder with less fluctuation on receive.

Signals can be the same, but quality of receive can differ. TOA can do this if the locations of TX and RX stations dictate. Other times of the day the vertical is no where in the game for receive. I hear some things on the Moxon I do not hear at all on the vertical.

What does the time of day have to do with it? Where the DX is coming from.
