Just get a mag mount, that is a magnetic mount.
You can change out the rod for longer wavelengths put on roof, or trunk, take off when done (doesn't look good on the hood, ) your ham store should have them too. "JLB" wrote in message ... I have a 2000 model year Ford Taurus wagon, and am thinking about mounting a through-glass antenna on one of the back side windows. Yes, I know---a roof mount would work better, but I would have to get a hole punch and a divorce lawyer to do it ;-) Does anyone have any practical experience with this set up? Does the window tinting cause any problems on 146 MHz or 440 MHz? There is a completely dark (opaque) band around the edge of the window. Should this be avoided? I have seen Taurus wagons with cell phone antennas on the back side windows, and was wondering how it worked on the ham bands. Jim N8EE |

I stopped worrying about parking garages, trees, etc. I could hear it fall over and when everything was clear, I simply stopped the vehicle and straightened it back up. Sometimes the simple way is the best way.
