Reminds me of the time I was messing around with my rice box. Needed an
antenna so I could get on 40 meters. Think I stuck a 65/67 foot hunk of
wire into the the antenna outlet and the SWR was right down there and the
radio put out it's 100 watts. A simple hunk of wire, the right length, will
often out perform any mobile antenna. I would suggest it's use only when
you are parked though HI Radio a bit hot because of RF? Another 1/4 wave
hunk of wire hooked to the chassis will most likely solve that problem.
