Hi Brett.

I would expect it to favor the east somewhat.  I suspect that it will do a 
pretty decent job for you.  It is much the same principle as mounting a 
Hamstick on a bumper of a vehicle except that the 5BTV is probably a bit 
more efficient, and certainly more versatile.

You'll have to let us all know how it works out.  The only possible 
advantage that I see to the GAP Titan over the 5BTV is coverage of the WARC 
bands, but other than that, I suspect that your antenna will work well on 
the five bands that it is designed to cover.
