Works OK with a good preamp. I have one mounted on my Explorer with some magnets from Harbor Freight, and an ARR preamp. Lots of guys here in deed-restricted communes, err, communities use them because of their stealth qualities.

If you like building antennas, you might look at the Lindenblad which performs similarly. I am finishing up my dual-band pair and may get them installed, today: http://www.kl7uw.com/LBant.htm
I will fill in more info on this page in a day or two (just a few photos, now)
