Default tuned vertical vs center loaded ant

Phil faced the same challenge. Item (1) of his summary says:
"Carry a complete set of mobile whips for lunch stops, or other
occasions where you do not have the time or room for anything better."

First on the list in Table 3 is:
"Hustler 75-meter mobile whip mounted vertically on the rear corner of
trailer...... S7"

Item (2) says:
"If at all possible, use a 1/4-wave counterpoise clipped tothe trailer
when using a mobile whip."

Second on the list in Table 3 is;
"Same as above, with 60-foot counterpoise wire connected to
trailer...................................S9"

So the counter poise adds about 12 dB to the signal.

A 15-ft high (at the center) 120-ft long dipole is S9+20 dB in Table 3,
but surprisingly the loop including the trailer is its equal. The loop
is only 30 feet long, or almost the length of the trailer.
