Lots of ideas being discussed and links to check out.

IMO, this JoGunn idea is not a low profile vertically polarized DDRR antenna.

It looks like a gamma fed, folded, center fed 1/2 wave dipole over Average Earth. It produces a maximum horizontal gain pattern that points straight up in the sky. Below, this antenna pattern is noted in red, with a maximum gain straight up at 90* degrees above the horizon. See post #38, click here.

Here is a intetesting Antenna to think about

According to this JG model above, the antenna looks like it could still work on the road, and maybe shoot some skip...if attached well to a metal roof of a RV type vehicle. However, I don't know how well it might hold-up at HY speeds.
