Tim, that's a fine idea. I should try that on my Nissan van, where i have been stumped on how to bring in a coax,
or where i live, where the building attenuates many db any HF signal. I have also thought about two flat coupled coils
on the van window to bring in HF signals. I don't know that the coupling would be effective enough to transmit out.

I recall years ago on the job. We had some OEM telecom manufacturer install a bay of their equipment in our office.
I looked in the garbage after they were done and gone and i found two brand-new unopened rolls of that copper tape. Just one
example of a mindset way different from mine, and i think i'm the one who's right. Why toss something that still has
value, that someone could use, just because you or your company is lazy or dumb ?  I have 3 laptops here that i found
at the recycle center. I installed an OS on each and they work; altho slightly behind the times, they are good for learning,
browsing, whatever. Now the recycle center has a "NO RUMMAGING" sign and an enforcer comes out to scrutinize each
visitor's work sorting. I guess some part of my fellow species is so dumb that they cannot understand "GLASS"  "CARDBOARD"
and so on. No - change that from "I guess" to "I know".
