Is that 2 s points on Rx or Tx? I think the ATX works well on Rx, just
not
so hot on Tx. You'd have to make me swill a lot of beer to convince the
ATX
was in the same game as a dipole!

Admittedly, this was on rx. However, since the antenna is passive, it would
be going against the reciprocity theorem would it not if the same were not
to be true on tx too?
Also, I did not say it had the same gain, I did say that there were no more
than 2 S points difference, and in dB terms that is quite significant. That
said, unless I were in a totally tree-less landscape with no other supports,
I'd take a wire antenna with me anytime rather than use a shortened
vertical!
