If your antenna is an active one, like mini-whip, I agree.
You can find some info about "height gain" in this paper, page 7:
SCHWARZBECK MESS - ELEKTRONIK, "Calibration of Vertical Monopole Antennas
(9kHz - 30 MHz)"
I've lost the WEB link but you can find the paper using Google.
This paper also have some useful hints about short and active antennas:
Christof Rohner, "Antenna Basics", Rohde&Schwarz, 1999
You can find the paper into the Rohde&Schwarz WEB site.
