Did you do any others? I'm guessing that this was done on the Decibel antenna range, maybe?

Back when we had to submit an antenna pattern in order to get a repeater license for the ham bands, I mounted four elements of a DB-224 directly on one leg of a Rhon 25 tower and mounted the two tower sections on an antenna test pedestal and ran the pattern. With the antenna sections directly in line and pointed away from the tower, we had 9 dB gain in the favored direction, 6 dB gain at plus and minus 90 deg, and 3 dB gain off the back side of the tower. The plot was perfectly round with the 3 dB offset for the center point of the plot. 73 - Jim W5ZIT
