Mobile Antenna Installation
Hi, i am a new ham and i just purchased an old VP commodore station wagon. I
was wondering what the best method would be mounting antennas on this vehicle. It has a non metallic roof rack so i was thinking of getting a metal plate across the roof rack and mounting the antennas on that. So i was thinking: 1. How to electrically connect the plate to the vehicle 2. What order/sizes to have the antennas in. (Largest at back, smallest at front? It shouldn't really matter, depending on directionality requirements.) 3. The best method of routing the coax from inside car to roof plate, i don't want to cut holes in the roof if not needed but probably will have to. Please feel free to suggest any methods used or ideas. I will probably have antennas for the following but not sure what the "best" antennas are for each radio, once again, feel free to suggest antennas to use... UHF CB 2 Metres 70cms Scanner I could use a dual band for the 2/70 antenna but i want a good one. I am in VK land so anything not sold in VK i won't buy. Thanks for looking... Gary VK3LCD |
