From The News Groups:
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. :-)

The transmissions are short, perhaps 5 to 10 minutes, repeated 4 hourly.
