Is there any evidence, anywhere, showing that one of these wonder antennas
produces more gain than a conventional short monopole of the same height-
and here's the important bit - given the same amount of metal. That metal
could be buried radials, a fatter radiator or whatever, just not used to
give extra height.
Just curious

I suppose it would, but we should remember that the comparison was not
made
against a full size dipole. It was made against an electrically short
vertical, which would already be many dB down from a full size dipole.
So far there is still no data anywhere in the world showing an EH antenna
or
a CFA actually producing the same field strength as a properly working
quarter wave vertical or a full size dipole... let alone the greater
efficiencies claimed by their inventors.
