Agreed!
That is why in my original post I specifically asked for people to share
A/B comparisons!
I thank: Rick-N6RK and Tom-VE3CX for sharing excellent A/B comparison
results on the subject!
Real life A/B comparisons is a great way (perhaps the best way) to
determine antenna performance.

I've noticed whenever someone is talking about his antenna, ANY antenna,
he
always is pleased with it's performance. Maybe due to the fact that
others give
him good signal reports. i.e. Over and over on this reflector you will see
someone say he has a certain antenna, up so high, and it is working
great for him.
It is only when the ham has TWO antennas available to him simultaneously
that he is able to say that first antenna that he THOUGHT was so good,
really wasn't.
Have you ever had someone say to you, "That antenna of yours is doing a
great
job for you today." ??
Ask him how he knows?
Think about it........
