Can a mobile antenna question fit into TOWERTALK?

Would a top hat attached to a mobile screwdriver antenna be a beneficial
addition even if used only when stationary?  Just wondering if it would make
a significant difference down on 80 or even 40 meters, or make it possible
to work 160 on an antenna that can only get down to 80 without it?

Are there any thoughts or guidelines on size?  Do they need to be "tuned" to
a frequency?

TIA, Jim KG0KP
