    It seems no ground dipole setup works better than a bad ground

    Up to 3db gain by adding a second element so I beg to differ. Consistent 40 mile range with this setup In my experience with the Peterbilt 387 which is all plastic body. Not as good as my Volvo 770, but then at the time I hadn't discovered Marks work yet.

    Realistically you won't see that full amount but the effect will be drastic especially in how you hear
