Hi Rick,
I would also think that peak radiation angle of the RX antenna versus the
arrival angle of the desired signal is also a big variable that would not
allow the relationship you heard on the webinar to be true under all
conditions. As you said it probably is too much of a generalized
statement, and needs some very specific conditions to be true.
I know with my RX antennas the improvement in signal to noise compared with
my TX vertical is very dependent on arrival angle (as an example).
P.S I did not hear the webinar.
