Low SWR and your claim it works well is just circumstantial. You ought to mount a 1/4" wave horizontally and I bet you it work just as well.

Dude, it is not acting as a parabolic dish, the coax is doing part of the radiating and when shit other than the antenna starts radiating, that 1.2 swr might change tomorrow when a bird takes a crap on it.

Besides, parabolic dishes are fed by a signal from an antenna that is in line with the dish, not 90degrees opposed.

I think for 11m you need something like this http://www.redicecreations.com/ul_img/9832seti.jpg
