This is where I am - "works for me".

I just bought an IC-910H (w/UX-910), not to mention the XV-222, so for
household peace-keeping reasons, I need spend a little as possible on
antennas.  That goes against conventional wisdom that says you should
put your money into your antennas but like you, I've had good results
from that A148-10S.  I didn't pay $100 for that one (it was old when I
bought it 6-8 years ago).  That huge Sporadic E opening in 2012 helped
a lot with the 2000+ km QSOs, but even without that, it's been a good
antenna.
