Bryan Its very difficult to build an antennas with equal gain across the full band with components like what was use with home-brew shoot out. There is A LOT of R&D to get the right combination, for example the antennas we have, have very even gain across the full band 2.4Ghz one of the reason the technology is patented.
Also if you look at the radio used in the test which was a Linksys (I think) you may find that it puts out more energy on channel 1 then 5 and 11.

Hi, I was looking at the home-brew antenna shootout, located at : < http://www.turnpoint.net/wireless/has.html>. Could someone explain to me why channel 1 had better signal then 5 or 11. I had always thought that you should get the same (or close) signal strengths on any non-overlapping channel (1, 6, 11), provided that the noise is the same (lab environment). Based on this test it seemed that channel 1 constantly has better reception. -bryan -- Reality.sys corrupted. Reboot universe?
