To make it simple.... the metal in your vehicle will act as a "guide" for
radio waves. Wherever the most metal is is the direction the radio waves
will be directed. The center of the vehivle will direct your signal
equlally in all directions. Placing an antenna, say on the roof of a
pickup truck will actully direct the signal BEHIND the vehicle, since you
have the whole bed of the vehicle to guide the signal. Mounting your
antenna, say on the driver's side mirror of a car will actually direct
the signal to the left, side and rear of the vehicle, while sending a
diminished signal to the front and left. Hope that makes sense.


Too many lefts? :-)
