OK news group retard. I missed the joke. Please explain what is so funny
about rear window car antennas as many cars have them? This should be
good.

Yeah, right news group retard. Spew your usual crap that you can't
backup in any way.

I'm so I'm a a twit posting off topic? I asked you a straight forward on
topic question news group retard. See if you can answer it. You can't
answer it of course because you are retarded but give it a shot anyway.

To-Date : I have not found one In-the-Window Car Antenna
that performs as well as a simple Whip Antenna on a Car.

Must have been in 20~25 Cars over the years with the
Tiny-Wire-in-the-Glass "Window" Antennas and most
of them had poor to no reception where a Whip Antenna
had Good overall Reception.

Applies equally to both AM & FM Radio Reception.

Presently have two Cars with Window Antennas and
both have Radio Reception problems driving down the
Freeway-of-Life {Highway-of-Happiness} where the 'other'
two Cars do not.

* *Actually, Roy, the antenna-in-the-window was created to solve two
problems, and one design cue issue. Although, two such antenna designs
were created to resolve a reception issue.

* *The antenna-in-the-window solves the problem of mechanical and wind
noise associated with the airflow around a whip at highway speed. The
whip, at speed, vibrates, which creates mechanical noise. It also
whistles, which can be really annoying. Chrysler solved these problems
by sleeving the whip. GM broke up the airflow with a spiral ridge up the
length of the whip. Both problems solved.

* *But it didn't solve the primary issue....vandalism. Inner city owners
have been plagued with seasons of external antenna theft and breakage.
And attendant body damage caused when the fender flexes under the strain
off a whip being broken off. Similar damage occurs in some car washes.
The window antenna eliminates all of these problems. Albeit at the cost
of some fringe performance.

* *One Japanese manufacturer, I think it was Honda, created a two
element window antenna that was supposed to reduce multipath
interference. This similar to a design in which Chrysler used a window
antenna and a whip as a diversity reception system.

* *Stylistically speaking, the window antenna cleans up the design of
the vehicle. Something designers have been scratching their heads over
for years.

* *But the window antenna isn't a new concept. The first car antennae
were loops hidden in a non metalic panel in the roof of the car. The
whip was a cost effective alternative that was also easier to
manufacture and install. It also permitted aftermarket addition of
radios to cars built without them.

I have a rear window antenna on my current car and it works well on FM
and AM. I get very good distant station reception and around here with
the low rolling coastal hills and big mountain ranges the reception is
as good as one could hope for in a car. For example the 5KW KOGO in San
Diego comes in like a local station during the daytime from 168 miles
away.

If I'm going up the highway 33 to Ojai the distant stations disappear or
come in poorly but a whip antenna will not make that any better.

I like cars without an external whip antenna. The outside design is
cleaner. The best solution to the vandalism problem is a motor
retractable whip antenna if you have one.

Telamon - YMMV

Both of the In-the-Window tiny-wire Antennas loose
the signal coming down the country-lane road to the
House and the Radio goes silent.

While both of the Whip Antennas still hold their Signal
and you can still listen to those Car's Radios in the Drive
Way.

But then I have to use a Single-Turn 70-Foot Triangle
Loop Antenna with the Radi-Osophy HD-100 Radio
to get it to pick-up any AM/MW HD-Radio Stations.

this is an RF challenging location ~ RHF
