antennas

[Ed Kellock]

I have a non OEM antenna on my Avant and I can get reception in the parking
garage at work where all my other cars fade within several yards after
entering.  The antenna stands up a little more vertical than I recall the
OEM one on my previous Avant did, but it's well worth it.  I'll see if I can
find out some information off of it.
