Generally, you would want an antenna with a lot of play, nothing really brittle, as that would snap off in an instant when pressure is put on it. If you could find one that has the free play of a whip, I think you'd have to try pretty hard to break it, and if it breaks, it would have to be on purpose. As for Critchfield, I'm really not too familiar with that personally. On another note, I had a '77 Jeep Cherokee, and the antenna was quite limber. --Paul-- |
