I would like to operate a 5 watt 151. MHz mobile transceiver into a
ball and spring low band whip antenna similar to the old bumper mount
CB antennas except that the antenna would be mounted directly to the
top of the rear fender of a large 1960's American car and needs to be
around 5-7 feet high. I need to use this type of antenna to give it
the appearance of an old police car.

Is it possible to do this effectively without damaging the
transmitter. I realize that this is an amateur radio board but I
thought that amateurs would be the best group to ask. Thank you.

Just a shot in the dark, Can ya stuff a rubber ducky in the Bubble Gum
dome? Or maybe a 74" + or- whip with GROUNDED gutter clip.
or a period correct GE Highband whip in addition to the ball and spring.
