(I agree with you anyway...)

A 2% efficient radiator and a 2% efficient counterpoise
doesn't add up to 4% total efficiency. :-)

Anyone who wants a portable rotatable dipole on 75m can
do much, much better than two Hustlers. Two SD-20 poles
with high-Q loading coils in the middle of each comes to
mind. And that's not much more trouble than two Hustlers.
The SD-20 approach is available at http://www.wr6w6.com

The question was the length of a counterpoise, not a rotatable dipole.
I figured another Hustler sure beats running radials out in a portable
situation.

If someone was to ask you how to make their Chevy run better would you
tell him to get a Ford? ;-)
