   I have a 1989 Dodge Daytona (which recently replaced a similarly equipped 
1986 Plymouth Turismo) with antennas for Scanner, 2m/70cm amateur and CB. (I 
usually use the CB only when traveling between cities, but I have been called 
a porcupine by half the truckers on the Interstate.)
 
   The whips often make it easier to spot my car in parking lots....*except* 
at hamfests.
