I lived in Africa a long time ago in a game park so I had the opportunity
to run a 700 foot long wire and later two long wires in a V beam.
The gain was better than a yagi, the wires had lobes off them. I noticed
that I didn't suffer from much fading.
If you have space for a long wire or a v beam or a rhomic put it up. You
can't rotate it but you will be heard very well in the direction of the
wires.
Theoretical doesn't come close to actual. There is no such thing as free
space for us mortals. Our wires are all that we can know and I would do it
all again if I was young and had the space.
