Telescopic!! Why didn't I think of that!? It would be multi-banded
since you could just extend it more the lower you went in frequency.

It's gonna take quite an off-set under the body panel to hold it all.

How about a really long door-spring with tubing in the center that is
connected to a pump, so the antenna can be softened or stiffened as
needed? Just give the pump a few strokes and it rises to it's proper
operating length.....

I think they already have that on the market, but it comes with the
warning that if it stays pumped for more than 4 hours you should see
your doctor immediately.

I have never tried one, hell I don't even have an operable CB right now, I
have several old Johnson radios I am restoring, and President Lincoln that
I picked up at a flea market that is a 10m rig that was moded for 11m that I
am building a transverter for 6m to go along with it. I might pick up an
older Unident Grant or an older 148 GTL.
