Nothing mysterious, lots of hard work making improvements. Its never ending !!
Listen to my signals and judge the results for yourself.

I'm particularly interested to know how Mercedes figure with regard to LF - do you use them for antenna top loading, or bury them for improved grounding perhaps? I suppose if you laid enough of them end-to-end along an uncongested road, you could make a sort of Beverage antenna.

Two end to end is the best that I can do.

No there is no substitute for the real thing. Others are getting close but the ones that you refer to are unmentionable.
