Just so you are aware...

Apples.

Oranges.

I would be very surprised if these were to line up, or even come close, and even if they did it would be more or less a coincidence than anything. I just wish I noticed back when this was one of the big sticking points between you and Shockwave back in the day.

In one case, you have an antenna pattern that can forms wavelengths, and in some cases miles depending on the situation, away from the antenna, and in the other you are measuring at a specific point, generally before such pattern will form, and also often at horizontal or below the actual antenna where the modeling software shows no actual data. Both are accurate ways of determining an antennas gain, but in two very different situations that are nothing alike, and at best barely related.

Its like trying to compare a device that uses a laser to measure the distance between two walls, and a laser to measure the speed of a car. They both use lasers, but they tell you very different things.
