Hi Jim >> The antenna geometry indicates that it should perform similar to a Waller Flag *under the same conditions*. <<
The perform under same conditions is expected, however the WF RDF is between 11.5db to 12 db. How that compares with a 8.5db RDF antenna? I would say two antennas with the same RDF should perform similar. The WF is a different antenna, it's a rotatable pair of loaded loops. Each loop is open and loaded with a resistor.
