Hi all,
   I'm looking for a way to mount an HF antenna which is likely  to be an 
8.5' SS whip on my '04 Honda Accord. The mount doesn't necessarily need  to be 
grounded as I have my own bag of tricks concerning that. Mostly I want  
something that is somewhat strong AND be something that requires a minimum  (ideally 
zero) of modification to the vehicle. My main focus is to mount  the antenna 
somewhere around the rear of the car, preferably on or very near to  the trunk 
lid. The registration plate threaded inserts would have been a good  starting 
point, but they don't appear to have the necessary strength because of  the way 
they're attached to the trunk lid. I loath the idea of crawling under  the 
car in my snowy driveway to bolt something to the underneath, so that will  be 
reserved as my last resort. Take a look at any of these vehicles that you  
might be around in parking lots, or perhaps even your own if you have one.  Thanks!
