 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.
