I used to have one of those back in the early 90's on a very strong mount
fitted to the rear of my old Fiat Panda. People said it looked like a
dodgem
car but it got out well ;o)


I had a mini with a full size quarter wave for 20m on the roof (5m long).
Valve powered radio with inverter.
Now that did look silly.

Some time back, as I was returning home after shopping, I noticed a new antenna over the top of
the houses. Strange thing was that it's position appeared to be between the houses... in the
middle of the road.

As I got to the corner, I spotted what it was... a BBC radio car with a small antenna on a big
mast. Quite a small car, considering the size of mast.
I would guess that the mast fitted through the roof and would be strapped to the floor of the
vehicle.
