Mobile VHF antennas

No amateur radio car without mobile radio - with the right antenna. There are five to six methods to mount a mobile antenna on a vehicle:

• Drill a hole and use N or PL base mounts
  This is HF wise and mechanically the best solution because tese mounts have an excellent connection to ground. Mounting is possible on the fender or the roof. DIsadvantage: Need to drill a hole, usually not possible with leased cars.
• Magnet base
  Easy to install and remove, ideal for rental cars. The larger magnet mounts are suitable for larger antennas at higher speeds, the triple-base even for HF antennas. Disadvantage: Ground coupling not optimal, can scratch the paint when treated improper.
• Window mount
  Also very easy to use and install. Disadvantage: Bad ground coupling, only 'radial laess' antennas should be used. Does not fit all windows.
• Glass mount antenna
  Very practical if you don't want to drill a hole. Works very good, except on sun shielded glass. Can be re-installed on a different car if required. Disadvantage: Smaller selection of radiators.
• Hatch or roof rail mount
  A solid method to mount larger antenna on the trunk of the roof railing. Not the most pretty solution, but very sturdy. Might require an additional ground lead.
• Mount for trailer hitch Solution for heavy and large antennas, suitable for long radiators. Eventually requires separate ground connection. Check the local regulations if use of such a mount is permitted while driving.
