Not happy new suv antenna
 

Traded recently from a pickup, with external vertical whip
antenna...to a suv with wire on the window, driver side rear
window....not a happy camper, with the wire on the window...she who
must be obeyed, will not allow any non factory holes ! Thought about
stringing a wire from the front of the luggage rack to the rear of the
rack, then a small lead to the window, tapped with a clear tape , and
see if that will couple to the antenna...do not wish to use an
amplifier, or get too complicated... Any thoughts ? TIA Gene

There are so many Moore's that I have no idea who I am kin to.
I don't look anything like Archie Moore, for instance. Outside
of London, England, the city with the most Moore's is Houston.

There is a John Moore in my Houston Area Amateur Radio Club who says he
is unrelated to Cecil, he is one of several Moore`s in the club, all
claiming not to be related to Cecil. John Moore, however, does claim to
have attended Texas A&M with Cecil.

When names were chosen, it seems more would likely choose the name Moore
than the name Less. Why are there not more "Mosts"?

The rubber gaskets around the rear door of SUVs are very accommodating to
small coax. Since you are doing a short run, sounds like VHF/UHF, this
would accommodate your vertical with an antenna clamp attached to the rear
door. Could use RG-58 or RG-59 since it is a short run to your radio.

Good Luck,

Strangely, most Moore's claim not to be related to me. ;-)

Yep, I've got the yearbook to prove it. John's a good guy.

Actually, when the English government decreed that everyone had
to adopt a last name, a host of people who lived out on The Moors
adopted that last name. Some of them may not have been related
even back then, except by geography.

Richard, your last name might have been adopted by someone whose
father was named Harry. Smith probably came from Blacksmith,
Potter from a pottery maker, Johnson from John's son, etc.

The Discovery Channel's "Longitude" featured the considerable
talents of John Harrison, a cabinet maker more famous for his
timepieces than for his cabinets. (Wonder why they didn't just
use the GPS system? :-)

I`d like to claim kinship with John Harrison who built the first
chronometer accurate enough to compute longitude, but I can`t.
Parliament had offered a huge cash award for such a timepiece or other
means of accurately determning longitude. John proved he had won, then
tried for years to get full paynent from parliament. Finally John got an
audience with the King who declared: "By God, you shall get your
payment!", and he was paid. Now, John Harrison is a big feature at the
National Maritime Museum at Greenwich. Some of the wooden clocks, gears
and all, that John built are still in use and keeping time well. The
chronometer is more like a large pocket watch.

GPS is huge. You can immediately know within a few feet exactly where
you are, unless you happened to be the target.

There are boat trips on the Thames between London and Greenwich. If the
weather is good, it is very pleasant.
