Trust the visit showed you complied with all applicable rules and
regulations :-)

He insisted correctly - a folded dipole = 2.2dBi gain. See my previous
posts from this morning!
A dipole can offer up to 4dB gain if mounted on the side of a
conductive pole or building (which acts like a reflector)

Please disregard my previous message dah!

I had a visit from your average freindly R.I just last week and he
questioned my use of 1 watt. I protested my inocence ie lots of high
loss co-ax and a folded dipole he however insisted that even a folded
dipole gave between 2-3 dbi gain.
