Having those callsigns gave you an extra 20 db gain. I've tried a few
verticals over the years and found them to be poor performers.
I use a AV-640 and I would suggest it over NO ANTENNA any day. And it
fits on a city lot without too many complaints.
This is a non-technical opinion, but a bad antenna is way better than no
antenna. I'm a big fan of experimenting and seeing what works and then
getting on the air. I can't believe some of the contacts I've made.
