Default Thoughts on hidden, bumper mounted, wire dipole?
Looking at going low profile, only way I can think of doing that is with a wire dipole mounted behind the bumper...

Two problems I'm thinking of...

Vertical Vs. Horizontal polarization, easy 3-6db loss.... Reflection from metal bumper, which would be within about 2 inches from the antenna itself....

Looking @ vhf/uhf @ 110 watts...

Suggestions?
