The good old half-wave Center feed dipole.
It was interesting to see the gain vs other antennas.
Hard to beat a dipole.
I would expect similar results vs. the ever-popular 5/8th's vertical. I would guess the 5/8th's not to beat the vertical dipole by much more than a 1 dB increase if that much.
Many dollars spent for very little gain when erected at the same height above ground.
Thanks, Gent's
