For automobileinstallation,the whip antenna may be used with good effect. The most
efficient and practical installation is a full quarter wave whip antenna mounted on the
rear deck or fender top, midway between the rear window and bumper.
A short "Ioaded" whip antenna is more convenient to install on your automobile,
although the efficiency is less than a fun quarter wave whip antenna.
For marine installation, consult your dealer for information regardingan adequate
grounding system and prevention of electrolysis between fittings on the hull and
