Think how much better it would be with a decent Vertical
dipole;-)..

Who knows why they use these halos?,

1. Halos are compact and very easy to mount on (around) a
vertical mast. They don't clutter up the space required for
other aerials too much.

2. Halos have a well-defined, pretty well omnidirectional gain
of around minus 3dBd. The fact that that there a minus sign
there doesn't necessarily indicate that it doesn't perform
adequately.

Come on Ian, they are crap (unless the Tx is line of sight) and
you and everyone else on here knows it.
