Someone asked me to post the following summary of three
California 75m Mobile Shootouts:

Bugcatcher/Screwdriver with top hat 0 dB reference

Bugcatcher/Screwdriver, no top hat -3 dB, -50%

Hustler -7 dB, -80%

Outbacker -9 dB, -88%

Hamstick -12 dB, -94%

Whip with autotuner -14 dB, -96%

Considering that the top legal 75m mobile antennas are
only 5%-10% efficient to begin with, a Hamstick radiates
~0.6 watts in the far field with 100 watts input. 75m
Hamstick users must really enjoy QRP. :-)
