Am looking for Vintage Mobile Antennas that were used in the 1950 - 1970's
Please advise availability, price and pictures.


Two points:

1. The ARRL Mobile Manual had a bunch of homebrew antenna projects, some built
from parts and some built from military surplus bits and pieces. Back then,
a _lot_ of hams were running homebrew antennae.

2. There are a lot of military surplus mobile antennae available from Fair
Radio Sales, and again that stuff was a lot more popular back in the
fifties and sixties than purpose-built ham antennae.
