How's about getting an electric engraver. Sears has them. That would
permanently mark them and is 100% guaranteed to be weather proof and
probably good up to at least Mach 12 or so

I operate mobile with a number of Hamstick antennas - fiberglass rods
~1/2" (1.3cm) diameter with stainless steel whips at the end. A
separate antenna is necessary for each band.

The antennas come with paper tags at the bottom indicating which band
they're for. These are surprisingly durable, but they aren't perfect.
The 20 meter antenna has lost its tag - luckily right now I know that
the untagged antenna is 20 but if another one loses its tag I'll be down
to comparing lengths of loading coils...

What methods can folks suggest for labeling these antennas? Remember
that, while in use, it'll be exposed to the elements on the rear bumper
of a car.

Funny, I don't recall having you as a passenger lately ...

Everybody these days drives Mach 12, don't they? They seem to on the
Interstate around Minneapolis!

What is it about cities?

Here in MI, the Interstares move along quite nicely out away from the cities
(well, except Friday night when everyone in the state goes "up north"), but
get near Detroit or Grand Rapids or Kalamazoo and you better have your jet
pack..

Amen brother! Not only do they have to go faster, but they HAVE to be
in FRONT of you, no matter what!. I've been passed like I'm a dirty rag
going in reverse and once they pass, then they get in front of me and
slow down to exactly the same speed I am going when they pass me. That
always makes a bunch of sense to me! Worse yet is when they pass you in
town on a two lane road, get back into the lane in FRONT of you (again),
go 2 blocks and then put on their LEFT blinker and now we BOTH have to
wait for opposing traffic. I suspect THIS is the reason the concealed
weapon laws have a hard time getting passed into law ('cause that sucker
would be dead now)
