Default Death of the auto antenna?

I was thinking about buying a car antenna and mounting it on the roof I
bet it will work good. My old magnet cb antenna works pretty good.

Be careful when drilling (sawing) a hole thru a vehicle roof, it is easy to
bend the metal leaving a dimple in the roof.
Have it done professionally or check with the shops that specialize in roof
antenna installations. I have heard of a Motorola tool designed for the
task.

I meant mounting it to the roof of my house and using it with my home
radios.
