G'day Joe,
?
I didn't think too many antennas would like nice after going through a car wash :-)
?
I'm using a Diamond SG9500N but I'm not keen to test it on the local car wash for you though...!
?
Cheers,

Joe, this is a HA HA HA reply.....
?
?
A 1/4 wave would be best!
?
?
I have a 3dBi Larsen Antenna from years past
that works just great... but I have to ask in this
day in age, what kind of a car wash would you
be going through??? Almost every carwash I
have visited, is touch free....
?
Other then that, I would not dare take one through
a CLOTH WASH unless it is a car wash with 12 Hooter's Girls
hand washing the car.....

There is a 1200 MHz mobile antenna project
listed here that is pretty easy to build.
I've been running one on the local 1200 MHz
repeaters for nearly 15 years.
