Good story! Reminds me of
my days running HF mobile with a big bug catcher and capaity hat (or even better
my 6m halo which was mistaken for a basketball hoop). It sometimes helps
to give it a coat of flat black paint, particularly if you are attaching it to a
roof rack - it makes it blend in. I understand that you are dealing with rental
cars and may not have that option.

Sees Laurence sitting at a red light just off Highway 59, Houston Texas..
up pulls the bright shiny Sheriffs car besides of me and he signals to
wind down my window, and hollers thru his open window....
"Hey boy, dat one of dem dair GPS location devices?" -pointing to my
Eprobe mag-mounted on the car roof.
"No Sheriff (best to call him what's written on the side of his car, they
don?t like being called "officer" if your dealing with the
Sheriff" )
"it?s a radio antennae mounted in a baby bottle".....
The Sheriff raises his dark sunglasses and looks closer at the Walgreens
transparent baby bottle with rg174 coming out of the teat at the bottom...."
Dang.." he exclaims. and chuckles."Dat IS a dang baby bottle!"...and
burns rubber from the lights,...
This is the run in with the law I found humorous
