I am unable to add anything technical to this discussion, but here is
some info for us folks who have antennas on their cars that may be
too long for our garages and carports.

Drive into your garage as a normal person would.  After you get out
of your vehicle, reach up and adjust those antennas so that they
won't kink when you back out.  I have a 2 meter band, 5/8 wave on my
minivan, and have used that trick for many years with out kinking up
the antenna.  One of these days I will forget, and that antenna will
look like the rest of my "pretend van"
