I have a Little Tarheel screwdriver antenna on the 4Runner. It
works well on 21MHz and higher, and less well as you go down in
frequency. When parked, I try to add an external counterpose
clipped to the ground side of the antenna mount, which seems to
help on 40M. I really think you want your counterpose to be on
the order of 1/4 wave long, and the 4Runner isn't 10 meters long.
I do remember doing search and pounce in the California QSO
party on 80M. As I tuned up the band and found a new station, I
had to re-turn the antenna, which I did while giving my call.
Everyone who answered said something along the line of, "You're
down in the noise, but we'll make it work." I thank them.
