removing a glass mount antenna is easy
razor blade
it's drilling a hole in the roof of your car that's hard
I did it, and I'm proud to admit it
think of it as marrying the vehicle, unless you sell it to another ham
at 90,000 miles my Durango sports a 200 watt Kenwood (NO TUNER!!)
and still has the original brakes (I don't stop much)
plus a Kenwood 742 on 144, 222 and 440
with a Comet tri-bander amid the roof, a Tarheel and 103" whip on the right
hip for low HF
(with a toroidal transformer that gives 50 ohms resistive on 20, baby)
and a Hi-Q that tops at 6 meters on the left hip
I also have a humongous Hi-Q for 160-80 when needed
what fun

dual band antenna.
For better performance, I used a half wave.
Still getting the thing off of the glass and moving it is the current
concern.
( if you'll pardon the pun - ho ho ho )
