READ what you just said,.......... a Horiz ant IS affected more by the ground,........... and that causes about a 7 Db LOSS, not gain!

the difference in gain between the antenna over a perfect ground and over a real ground is large. At low heights the antenna radiates about like an isotropic radiator at low radiation angles, with about a 7 dB losss to the ground.

it is aparent that mounting the dipole vertically reduces the sensitivity to the ground conditions and lessens the ground loss.
