Its long, slim shape is awesome for mounting on a tripod and perfect for taking along on longer hikes. Its very hard to decide what the best antenna actually is. The dbi patch provides at least a factor of 4 increase in range, even for licensefree 25mw transmitters. We know that a 1 \ 4 wave vertical has a hole in the reception directly above and below the antenna, so if we are trailing a antenna of circa 1 4wave horizontally along the length of the fuse, and the plane is flying directly away from or towards the tx, the same hole should exist in the reception and reception ought to be very poor.
