[Healeys] Radio antenna

[Mr. Bill]

Another friend of mine, also on this List and who I thought would 
answer, hid his horizontally under the rocker panel.  As I remember the 
reception was pretty terrible BUT you couldn't see the antenna.  :-)   
Maybe he'll verify that.?

I, too, have a CB antenna with a quick release on the RR bumper mount.  
My fiberglass antenna doesn't whip around at speed and when removed, the 
mount is hidden by the bumper.  I like it that way.  How many of you who 
went to Conclave even noticed it?

You could put a mount on the rear bumper attachments and mount it there.  I had a CB antenna there once and it looked pretty good.  But--at speed it tended to "flap" around a lot.
