Jeff,

I keep coming back to this simulation via easynec:



Blue is a half-wave dipole at modest height.  Red is a 10-foot vertical 
over average ground.  Can you say "24 db down"?  That make your 20 watts 
look like less that 100 mW in a dipole.

I had a 25-foot vertical on the roof of the other Jersey City house with 
an SGC auto tuner at it's abse.  It did better than above, but left a 
200 mile in diameter doughnut hole in local coverage.
