its much better quality than a firestick! infact its probably the most robust antenna i,ve ever seen. i had it on a magmount but got rid of this and have just added another antenna and twinned the two together on the roof of the car. the results are brilliant and it looks good too! i had been advised on here it wasnt any benefit to do this but did some reading on the matter and found out that it was indeed not problem to do this. now having done it myself the proof is that it works and works well!

use a f/sstrength meter and see what kind of radiation pattern you are getting bet theres lots of lobes on it

How about a rig with a long beard and an 'L' Plate?

If I had time I'd Photoshop one for you.
