Tim,

I have two glass mount CB-tuned antennae - they are basically the same as a
glass mount cell phone antenna (but black, about 1.5 feet tall, and about 4mm
in diameter) - I used to use them on my 87 Subaru 4WD Wagon, and it worked
okay, exactly what you need, as they won't be recognizable as a CB antenna. I
got them from a radio store that services/supplies police radios...I can give
you the name and address of one in Randolph, NJ - or there's one on Route 22
in Whitehouse Station...

PS: My e-mail bounces when I try your address sometimes...
