My wife's Honda Element doesn't have the roof rack. However there are
small panels, just a couple inches on a side, in the roof area, that
cover the places where the rack would attach. When you remove these
covers you will find captive nuts (8 mm ?) that are to be used to hold
the roof rack. :-) I made a mount out of aluminum angle that will hold a
ham stick. You're on your own to figure out your mount. Since there are
four (6?) of these you could build a STRONG base that would hold a tall
support for a dipole that you only use at rest. When you're finished,
remove your mount and snap in the plastic covers and no one is the
wiser!
73, Kurt
