Thanks for the correction, a dipole has more of a doughnut radiation pattern vs the perfect sphere of an isotropic giving directionality perpendicular to the antenna. A theoretical perfect dipole has 2.15 dBi gain over the perfect theoretical isotropic, but again only in certain directions. Perhaps the article would have been even more impressive titled 1.6 MW transmitter then just listing EIRP down in the article instead of ERP. Either way its actually only a 330KW transmitter.
