Bart,
You know about the antenna in my photo--this is good. I was wondering if it was a decent antenna. I got it for $25 on eBay.
Hi Dan, I think this is the antenna in the photos (GD5W-28P): https://www.hamwan.org/t/tiki-index.php?page=Laird+GD5W-28P There's a comparison of it to some other antennas here: https://www.hamwan.org/t/tiki-index.php?page=Antenna+Shootout It looks to be about 3 dB under the Poynting, despite being the same size. That explains the difference in your numbers to my models--they're all off by at least 3 dB! Tom KD7LXL
