I agree. My thinking about what Henry did in that case went in one ear and out the other. I suspect it was a feature available with Eznec Pro+.

I know you are right about his results not being gain...he clearly says it is signal strength being measured. I read somewhere that this measurement was a much smaller increment type measurement than typical gain. I once asked DB or Henry if they could tell me how this measurement related to gain. I don't recall the response, I just heard Henry caution DB about the use of the feature.

I read on the Internet comments in reference to surface wave measurements and our trying to compare gain results among several antennas under test. Tests where the results showed very small but detectable differences that were hard to impossible to determine without some more detailed way to measure. I could be wrong however.

I think I and others have suggested an idea many times before...when gain results were different yet very close...saying we probably couldn't tell the difference just using our radio. Maybe that is the time to dig out the old slide rule and maybe that is why Henry used the idea in his very comprehensive work.

There might be very high frequency technical reasons for folks wanting to make such detailed measurements, but I don't see much value in the HF range and for sure for CB hobbyists.
