thanks for the info


How about using a bicycle carrier and attaching the antenna to it? The
load would be better distributed.


I've done a variety of schemes like that. A removable bike rack that
straps to the trunk lid works fairly well.

I've also built something that clamps onto the towing/tie-down lug.
That works pretty well if the lug is in the correct orientation.


A light duty trailer receiver works really well, and when you pull the
antenna off, it's very inconspicuous. I did something like this by just
bolting a piece of 1x1" square tubing to the bottom of the spare tire
well to make a sort of receiver. The antenna mount slides in and it's
held in with a couple of removable hitch pins.
