Hey All,

I'm trying to find the best mobile antenna for receiving CHP transmissions
(around 42Mhz). The antenna has to be mounted on my vehicle (camaro),
so can't be too long (6ft max). An additional complication is lack of
good ground plane, I have a targa roof and the hood & trunk are
fibreglass.

My current thoughts are to locate a commercial base loaded
1/4 wave VHF whip and try and mount this to my towbar, but
that's not really much of a groundplane.

Anyone got any good ideas? Been a long time since I've played
around with antennas.

Thanks.
