This is rubbish. Measurements I have made at HF show an 8-10dB increase
in signal every time the distance is halved for ground wave. Do the
math! I have a neighbor with a 2010 Prius and I have followed him
within a couple of car lengths around town with my mobile setup and hear
NO noise that I can attribute to his Prius. There might be some noise
within the vehicle but no way is anyone hearing it a quarter mile away.
W0NAC runs mobile in a Honda Civic Hybrid and he runs a 300W amp.
