[BC] Car Radio Antennas

[Tom]

I think the key ingredient in all the HooHaa is this:

"The old stick probably would have vanished by now — but for one nagging 
thing: It has provided better reception than its offspring."

Note the competing tech - GSM, GPS, etc. use MUCH higher frequencies, so 
a resonant antenna is much SMALLER. Then there's the old adage...

"Want more/better signal? put up more metal!"
