welcome back the blow hole.
Booty being that you dont use your head, and think for yourself. Let me add a few things you obviously havent taken into account. 99% of people are running a bounce back system with half waves. so there is your missing gain to a point. I will once say again you have never used half of what your attempt to talk about. These are real world results. Results that can be duplicated and demonstrated for you if you really feel the need.
Now everyone the testing parameters were a dax10 radio which has a great meter for signal reading. And was field tested to be 6 db per s unit. How is this done? Hold a 400w dk and record signal, hold 800 hold signal, hold 1600 and record. 4 to 800 watts was 1/2 an s unit that's an easy way to determine 3db of signal gain per half or 6 per s unit. A hair tighter after 7 to about 5 db per s unit. Distance was 40 air miles to stickman at his base. Now that the signal baseline is set...
With the 2 coils and a 16 pill I can put just about 4 s units on him. The current 5 element fighting system puts 7 to a hair better s units on him. Hey booty can you add? its at least 17 db gain over 2 coils which is 5 db over 1 coil.
( the best low boom antenna system we had was 3 db less then the current one. which is about 5 less for the average ) Now the half waves are right at the same signal as the current 5 element system. Give or take a needles width on the meter. Booty are you still doing the math? blow up the calculator and break 7 pencils yet?
Now that I mentioned the old low boom antenna system you can now see why everyone was afraid of the half waves at keydowns.
Back to the half waves. Half waves are really good for two things. Complete local decimation, but primarily talking skip. the added receive, and much higher tx level = skip control.. I have at one time just hardly squeaked in between the keys on 2 coils and a 24 pill. put on the 1/2 waves and now im on top of everyone else who had better conditions.
now some NJ guys have tested the 55 version and the other design and the 55's did 2.5db better. Now blow hole Im not going to question how they did the test, what was used, How it was used. I'm confident that both of them knew what they were doing.. And since this is cb radio and there is no solid baseline, level of test equipment any argument you have is useless.
Also being you are to cheap, stubborn and fat to do any testing for yourself you will never know for yourself. Books were written years ago, but just as the first book was written on fuel injection for motors, new ways and technology was found to outperform the book written years ago. So wise up booty. Read and pay attention!

LMFAO !!!!
a maco 5 element only has 15.5 db of gain . hell , their biggest beams produce a max of 18 db

a half wave antenna only has 1 db of gain over a 1/4 wave ... but you expect folks to believe what you say ..........
fool breeze , keep telling lies to sell stuff for your good buddies .
such limited intelligence
