So you wanna learn which antenna is the best,huh? 

Well take a look at this chart! 

Part	Radial size	Cost ()	Mass (t)	Max. Temp. (K)	Tolerance (m/s)	Tolerance (g)	Electricity (⚡/Mit)	Net transmission speed (Mits/s)	Relaycapable
	Communotron 16	Tiny	300	0.005	2 000	7	50	6 (20.0 ⚡/s)	3.33	× No
	Communotron 16-S	Tiny	300	0.015	2 000	7	50	6 (20.0 ⚡/s)	3.33	× No
	Communotron 88-88	Tiny	1 500	0.1	2 000	7	50	10 (200.0 ⚡/s)	20.0	× No
	Communotron DTS-M1	Radial mounted	900	0.05	2 000	8	50	6 (34.3 ⚡/s)	5.71	× No
	Communotron HG-55	Radial mounted	1200	0.075	2 000	7	50	6.67 (133.3 ⚡/s)	20.0	× No
	HG-5 High Gain Antenna	Radial mounted	600	0.07	2 000	8	50	9 (51.4 ⚡/s)	5.71	✓ Yes
	RA-2 Relay Antenna	Radial mounted	1 800	0.15	2 000	8	50	24 (68.6 ⚡/s)	2.86	✓ Yes
	RA-15 Relay Antenna	Radial mounted	2 400	0.3	2 000	8	50	12 (68.6 ⚡/s)	5.71	✓ Yes
	RA-100 Relay Antenna	Radial mounted	3 000	0.65	2 000	8	50	6 (68.6 ⚡/s)	11.43	✓ Yes

It shows which antenna is the best,got it? Good!  

BYE!!!!

Nice table but there is a column title missing (name) and all following column titles are shifted 1 to the left. Also a column about the antennas direct and link range is missing.

SHOOT!

It's just a direct copy from the KSP wiki. A simple link would have been just as useful. http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Parts#Communication

Why did nobody tell me tha HG-5 works also as a relay??

I mean I doubt I'm going to use it anyway, but still, I was wondering why it was added if there are better antennas..

HG-5: The description says its both direct and relay, you just need to read But its relay capabilities aren't thaat great. Kinda just enough for exploring the Mun.

Indeed. It literally says: "A short range dual purpose communications antenna that can handle either direct communications or short range relays."
