normal 1/2 wavelength whip antenna is too long for roof mounting on
a vehicle, the antenna is shortened and loading coil is used to provide
the proper electrical length. Our fiberglass roof mount is a good durable
antenna.
Front Cowl Mount
The radiation pattern is slightly greater in the direction of the rear fender
opposite the side on which the antenna is mounted. However, the front
position offers a number of advantages. The CB antenna can be easily
mounted. It can double as both the CB and the standard auto radio an-
tenna by employing a two-way coupler. Ask about our complete line of
antennas.
Rear Deck Mount
The radiation pattern is stronger in the direction of the front fender op-
posite the side on which the antenna is mounted. In this position you can
use a full quarter-wave antenna or a shorter loaded whip. Here you might
consider one of the full 2.5 meters whips.
Bumper Mount
The antenna radiates in a pattern directly in front of and to the rear of
the vehicle, with maximum radiation directly away from the vehicle, in a
horizontal plane. Despite its fairly irregular pattern, a bumpermounted
full-length whip antenna will normally give the best results. Removing
the antenna is simple and will leave no holes in the car.
