Jeff is right... while the whip is a great antenna... if not mounted

the front of the vehicle if mounted in the rear. Frankly, the whip is
a bit impractical from several standpoints. When balancing
practicality and performance... I always opted for a somewhat shorter
antenna (Wilson 1000) magneted to the center of the roof. This
provides an excellent radiation pattern and doesn't hit every tree,
bridge, and lighting fixure... LOL

But the whip makes such a nice "BONGGGG" when you hit the right object.

It turns into a water pipe?? g

That being said, I think the Wilson is the better choice. If he's driving
a Plymouth he'll probably have the same problem I had with my '68 Dodge
Coronet. Thin top "skin".
