Our W3USA/M route includes about a 4 mile stetch through rare Cameron county. 
Rather than sit parked there being a weak mobile, this year I took time out to
throw up an 80/40 dipole at the Wycoff Run parking area and operate as a weak
(but less weak) fixed station. The antenna was up about 25 feet at the center
and five feet at the ends. I did chat with several people while putting it up
and taking it down.  Is there a Field Day like bonus for operation in a public
place?

I never got any roaring pileups going, but people did answer my CQs, unlike the
case when mobile on SSB.  I tried CW but not get a quick response so went back
to SSB.

For mobiles who do only SSB and don't operate while driving (a wise idea), I
highly recommend taking the effort to put up a full size antenna so people will
hear you.  Be a rover rather than a mobile.
