OK news group retard. I missed the joke. Please explain what is so

about rear window car antennas as many cars have them? This should

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

I'm so I'm a a twit posting off topic? I asked you a straight forward

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.- Hide quoted text -

In most cases, true. But, like myself, your primary consideration is
effective reception. We are of a small minority. Most car buyers take
the radio for granted. Most don't recognize reception performance
deficits. The radio is an appliance. They turn it on, if the lights
light, it's working and all is well. Real performance evaluations rarely
happen. More attention is paid to the thunder produced by the subwoofer
than anything relating to radio reception. Cars are bought for their
lines, their features, and their price. Not the radio.

Keep in mind we live in a culture of highly cultivated ignorance..
Radio antennas are barely understood by practitioners of radiocraft, let
alone the general public. And cutural norms have been shaped to value
appearance over performance, in very nearly every application.

If radio reception performance was an issue to the public, every home
would have an external antenna, no HOA CC&R would contain an antenna
restriction, and IBOC wouldn't have been permitted to get past the first
few paragraphs of the initial proposal abstract. Sadly, this isn't the
case. There are those who still insist that a well designed TV wouldn't
need an antenna, that indoor antennae can be made to be as effective as
externals, that radio antennae are unnecessary aberrations on the Divine
Scheme, and that real men drive Priuses.- Hide quoted text -

I bought the highest upgrade sound system the manufacturer offered.

audio specifications so I took my chances and it turned out OK.

- My choices are to read RHF advocating CAT LITTER
- in the ground system here

- - Telamon - It has it's technical merits.

- - "Great Ground with Kitten Litter -by- Guy Atkins
- - -source- HCDX List, August 10, 2000
- - http://www.hard-core-dx.com/nordicdx...bentonite.html
- - Bentonite -aka- Cat/Kitty Litter
- - -he notes- There was a IEEE paper written some years ago
- - about Bentonite grounds.

As Usual when Challenged the Teli-Tard© has nothing to say.

- or read the nincompoops in amateur antenna group
- talk about electrons sloshing back and forth in the
- coax due to VSWR.

Telamon - I might call them Hams of just plan boring to Listen to...
-but- The word 'nincompoops' does not come to my mind
when I think of Amateur Radio Operators.
-plus- If you are really interested in the technical aspects
of Amateur Radio Antennas with a fair measure of practical
know how the Rec Radio "Amateur Antenna" Group is a
good place to go for an Answer and do some learning.
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.r...ateur.antenna/

To Be Honest Telamon - I think that the Good {Knowledgeable}
Members of the Rec Radio "Amateur Antenna" Newsgroup
have handed you your Hat too many times and you simply
can not hang-with-them. -ps- I know that I can't.

Teli-Tard© -proclaims-
- There is a difference between knowing facts and understanding.

Do You Know That Difference ?
Yet TBD from what you have Posted Here.

- Some people in that news group have the former
- but none have the later.

A few many be but the majority have your number
on spped-dial under Teli-Tard© .

Teli-Tard© -proclaims-
- I never had "my hat handed" to me.

Oh - It must have been a Mexican Hat Dance then.

Telamon- I quess I will have to add 'nincompoops' to the
List of Names that you enjoy calling 'other' Posters :
Retard, Moron, Idiot, and now Nincompoops.

Teli-Tard© -proclaims-
- No I don't enjoy it. Maybe you do.

Then Why Do You Name Call ?
Which usually shows below par intelligence and/or
poor social adjustment. Often Both.

Honestly how did calling them 'nincompoops' elevate
your status here or your own personal wellbeing ??

- There are several nincompoops no better than you
- that post there nearly everyday.

Teli-Tard© once again with the Name Calling :
It must Pump-Up Your Ego a lot.

- My status?

Social Image & Sense of Self

- What the hell do you mean by that?

Everything You Post Says Tons About the Teli-Tard©.

-*Whatever screwed up idea you have going there
- has nothing to do with me.

Teli-Tard© is a Nick-Name You Have Earned.

- You still don't get it do you.

Teli-Tard© - I Get It Every Day.

- There are news groups.

Teli-Tard© - That is "Newsgroups" one word.

- You post news and information as a public resource.

Teli-Tard© - That I Do - That I Do
-ps- Do You ? NO [.] - The Teli-Tard© simply likes
to call other Posters Names like : Retard, Moron,
Idiot and now 'Nincompoops' . . .

- If you are not doing that then get lost.

Teli-Tard© - Very Good Advice - Please Take It.

Better Yet Stop the Name Calling and Act Normal Again.
