Glad to hear you are having good results with your FCP.
What is the basis for your estimate of a 4-6 db improvement? Which prior
antenna configuration was your improvement based on (or i.e. which was
the 2nd runner-up)

After trying buried radials, surface radials and elevated radials with
my inverted L, I finally put up an FCP a few days ago. The difference
is amazing and I reckon my signal into NA has gone up by 4-6 dB. As I
only have a fairly small tree available the vertical section of the
antenna only goes up to around 45 feet. The FCP is about 4 feet above
ground at the moment so I will raise it a bit more as I think 8ft is
the recommended height.
