It's hard to tell from the photo, but it looks like it can be adjusted to
lay flat. Whether or not this can be done in a convenient manner is

Right. I personally would only use such a rig under special situations
(i.e., the thing only goes on for a weekend or something.) Everyday
use is asking for trouble.

Mobile installations have their own challenges. I'd probably live with
the trade-offs and put a big old whip from front bumper to the back.
One should be able to use various tricks to electronically lengthen or
shorten the whip to tune to the range you want, right?
