Yes, that is a good part of the extra gain. Additional gain also comes from
exactly matching the electrical lengths of the phasing lines. In order to
get the phasing lines to match, it is necessary to use a network analyzer
when cutting the cables.

Alan,
Is the gain so good because the stack spacing is approaching a half wave on
80?
