Out of curiosity, what would you think if you saw a relatively new Infiniti G35 Sedan with a 52" antenna mounted to the trunk?
This antenna to be specific:
I'm installing an amateur radio mobile rig in my car and am a little worried about what people (namely my classmates at law school) will think when they see my car with this 52" antenna on the back, and if I for whatever reason give them a ride, they'd see this in the car:
Specifically, they'd see that front part (the control head) with the dials and lit LCD screen on top of the dash-board mounted via a bracket. The rest of the radio will be in the trunk with cables running through the chasis so they're hidden. There would also probably be a GPS unit with XM traffic nearby.
I know I'm being a little too self-crticial here, but I'm worried people are going to think I'm weird or something.
