Well I got the Nott antenna last night but I had to fix the control box
first;
Cold solder joint.

Impedance at resonance with an MFJ analyzer:

band Hustler Tarheel Nott
80 21 ohms 9 ohms 10 ohms
40 25 11 11
20 30 30 19
10 40 32 47

Before switching both antennas back and fourth untill I get repeated,
consistent data, I think I'll mount another ball on the left side of my
Durango a foot below the one on the right. That'll ensure both coil tops are
the same height.
I propose to match both with autoformers and do comparative field strength
measurements
when I get the TS-480 installed.
