In article %WOTd.62179$wc.45982@trnddc07, Jerry Martes says...

Dont be confused by thinking that the car antenna is just a short
telescoping element. The telescoping (short) mast is actually a probe that
couples to the car itself. The car is the antenna. The coax feed line in
the car is only a necesary component for minimizing induced noise.

This is a new one on me - I thought they were verticals using the
car body as a ground plane.

How does this work?

Jim
