I have roved successfully along the front range in CO, NE, and WY, as well as
here in Maine using KB6KQ loops. I used single loops on 6 and 222, a pair on
2, and a pair on 432. I was consistently told that my 100W on 432 was louder
than the 170W on 2 meters.
When I purchased the antennas, Norm, KB6KQ, told me to keep the 432 loops away
from metal. For mobile, he recommended a wooden (which I used) or fiberglas
mast, and he strongly advised against mounting them on a tower leg.
Of course, YMMV, but it worked for me.
