I took another look at that 'second' antenna. What it amounts to is a loaded antenna with a 'stinger' 5/8 wave length long. No idea what what the equivalent antenna 'length' would be, but if you end up with a 50 ohm input, it's definitely not a 5/8 wave anymore. that might explain the difference you're seeing between the 5/8 and it. You think?
