[Mobile-Portable] New car and considering new antenna setup!

[David E. Shelton]

I just bought a new car a couple weeks ago, VW Jetta TDI diesel. I have a
High Sierra that is about 1-1/2yr old and I am considering a new
installation on the new car. My High Sierra is gray and my car is red so I
could paint the antenna and go with that setup again or I am considering a
little more of a compromise antenna, Diamond HV7A. Anyone have any
experience with this antenna and can give me a little feedback as to how it
works. I like to idea of using only one antenna for 70cm/2M/6M/and HF. I
know the performance will not be as good as the High Sierra but...cannot
bring myself to put a huge antenna on that car.
