When someone posts the results of a "shootout" where the *same*
vehicle, in the *same* location, with the test antenna located at the
*same* position on the vehicle, fed with the *same* transmitter and
where the *same* receiver is used for field strength then *maybe* I'll
give some credence to the results. Otherwise, it's all hogwash.
