In fairness to Felix I agree.

Too many small antenna's needlessly waste power because of sloppy feeding
methods. In fact in the real world, there are too many full size antennas
needlessly wasting power because of sloppy feeding methods.

A good example is the G5RV, atu at rig end, length of coax leading somewhere
to twin wire feeder, and then an untuned dipole. It's possible to easily
lose most of power on some bands,and that's before taking into consideration
other losses in the design !

The antenna described by Felix would appear to perform better than
similar sized antenna's because care has been taken to reduce needless
losses. But there can never be a miracle antenna that defies performance
versus size, when compared to full size antenna. But you can make a poor
antenna better by getting rid of any  needless losses.
