I think it would be possible to alter the "beam width" of the omni-antenna
(mobile) and so make it "better."
If you take the time to learn EZNEC or MMANA you can view this for yourself
in the plot of the radiation pattern....

Is it possible to make a mobile 10m antenna that is
physically shorter than a 1/4 wave whip yet will
preform better than a 1/4 wave whip?
