Hi Rik and the group,
 maybe today I am denser than the usual, but, how can a short vertical
monopole have a gain when compared to a dipole (I suppose here a lambda/2 
dipole) ?
I would have intuitively thought that a short vertical monopole has a loss
wrt to a full size dipole.  Please enlighten me, thanks.
