I have used a Hustler on 75 before. I was definitely
a weak signal station. I can only imagine that a tuned whip would

Following are the summarized normalized combined results
of three 75m mobile antenna shootouts held in California
during the 1980's.
0 dB - (Reference) Bugcatcher or Screwdriver with large top hat
-2 dB - Bugcatcher or Screwdriver with no top hat
-5 dB - 8.5' whip with bugcatcher base loading coil
-6 dB - Bugcatcher with Stainless Steel Loading Coil
-8 dB - Hustler High Power system
-9 dB - Outbacker
-12 dB - Hamstick
-12 dB - 11.5' whip with SGC-230 autotuner
-14 dB - 8.5' whip with SGC-230 autotuner (estimated, not measured)
