At the moment I'm using a lot the CHAMELEON V4 VEHICULAR ANTENNA (Mobile = 2M to 20M) (End Fed = 6M to 80M). I simply installed one end of the 25' wire in the tree right next to my balcony (as high as possible) and I've grounded the V4 to my aluminum patio door or metallic hand rail. I've worked the entire USA, most part of Canada, Japan and Australia with between 5W to 100W.
You can also use the V4 on your vehicle if desired with the provided 56" whip to and you'll cover 2M to 20M.
Cheers,

I would ask anyone who says they work well to substite another similar size antenna and then let everyone know what they think. BTW performance comments from the mfr or representatives of the mfr will be discounted as sales rubbish.

Where are the real comparisons to antennas we can relate to?
Field strength of two transmissions made with the V1 and a Yaesu ATAS 100 screwdriver antenna. Both were alternately ground mounted in the same spot and fed against 16 buried radials. The V1 used the supplied 9:1 Unun and a LDG Z11 pro tuner.
Vertical scale is in dBm, horizontal scale in MHz.
