Sorry Rick,
Please let me explain, doing a antenna substitution works only in the
following situations.
1. Both antennas are designed to have patterns similar in the direction of the
receiving station or.2. Both antennas have the same TOA to the receiving
station or3. Both antennas had the same amount of delivered power to the
antenna or
And I could go on. The test you did is a nice comfort feeling one but does not
tell you why one works better that the other one.
IMHO

That is exactly what I did, with the help of a friend a reasonable
distance away with a reasonable S-meter, repeated antenna swapping, and
a little help from skimmers on the RBN for control. I'm pretty sure the
difference is real. I'd rather carry a lightweight telescopic pole with
the means to guy it, and use an inverted-V dipole than trust that loaded
vertical to get me contacts.
