Topband: 160m vertical with "top loading"

[DF3KV]

Beside all that is correct higher efficient mobile antennes on the low bands
are those with base loading by high Q coils.

Linear loading is less efficient than coil, base loading worst, top loading
is the best, loading coil about 2/3 up is a good compromise especially for
mobile antennas.
