I'd be the last to acuse anyone of telling tales.
I know for a fact my antenna will out talk,out receive, out perform any thing you guys mention.
On my truck I run a 5 element beam with rotor mounted on a 46ft telescoping mast.
I will admit it will impede your running time a little, since you must stop and retract the mast to
13.6in at all bridges, overpasses low hanging wires, ( 15 mph rule does not apply to antenna)
Also if you meet Big Dave on a two lane road, his hat brim poses a threat to this antenna.
10-4 "BACK DOOR" you ina heap a trouble fore shore.
