Magnum CB/HAM antenna mount for whip
Hi. I have a 2005 Magnum...love the car..just bought new GoodYears for the front, rear to follow. Also replaced BA Sirius with Pioneer XM system.
Now, I want to mount a whip antenna similar to CB, actually for HAM, on the rear. Antenna probably 5-6 feet long. Anyone ever do this or know what bracket & where this will fit? Hard to tell from pictures, and this ain't no hatchback.
Thanks,
Bob

RE: Magnum CB/HAM antenna mount for whip
Bob,
Are you looking to do a permanent mount or a mag mount. I usually use a mag mount as I do not always have my 2 meter rig intalled. I would think that the other options especially for a 5'-6' antenna would be a roof top mount, great ground plane off the roof, or maybe a side mount. But that would be in the way and not to pretty. I also use a mag mount as I didn't want to drill any extra holes in the body.
