tsk, that was pretty useful information!
A couple of questions are still open though...
1. Reflections. I know high end receivers from pioneer, jvc have dedicated circuits in their tuners to filter them out. But was wondering if there are any related tips regarding the antenna itself.
2. Polarization. does it matter? was wondering if that would call for any additional care to be taken in antenna orientation. Hope not.

That obviously means that reception will be worst in minimum gain position. I thought that it will be even worser than a short wire, no? For example, if you are driving in city outskirts, reception will be good if station happens to be right in front of you or back side. But it will be bad when the station is exactly on either left or right side.
