[aprssig] Vehicular Window Flag Mount for antenna base?

[Chris Rose]

Wire wrap around the flag base to hold a 1/4 wave whip
there.  Haven't done it but it looks like it would
work.  Or, drill down the center and use the hole to
stick a whip into.  Don't know what to use for a coax
connection, however.
