Heres a quick question, if you have a screwdriver antenna, the whip is maybe 6 or 7 ft the rest is the tunable coil, and I have seen them make contacts on 40m, now Im certain they are garbage on 40m but my 9 ft tank whip with 9ft radials, tunes on 40, so im thinking it must work as good as a screwdriver on 40m, not that i think a mobile whip works good on any band below 15m. I will get around to trying it but it makes me wonder how good the screwdriver is on 40m with such a small radiating element.
