Subject:      Sirius antenna placement on westy??
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Alright technology experts:

Anybody have any ideas of the best place to put the
magnetic Sirius radio antenna on an 84 westy?
It was on the roof right above the rear-view mirror in
my 91 vanagon, had to remove the whole system, engine
problems (that's another thread).  So I'm moving the
system to the 84 westy, satellite radio is so great
for long road trips and camping in the middle of
no-where (not that camping requires tunes, it's nice
to get NPR and weather stations).  It's a perfect
accessory for the westy!

The antenna wire is about ten feet long, with the
super strong magnetic antenna head at the end.  If the
tuner is under the passenger seat that is pretty much
the perfect length to get to the area right over the
rear-view mirror, through the weatherstripping under
the carpet etc. I'd do the same as before but there's
not enough metal roof on the westy roof.

The Sirius tech guys were laughing at my questions,
They told me let them know what I found out to work
best and they'd put it in their tech support manual.
cheers-
tyler
