Thanks to all for the responses.

I am that guy who cracks the windows while in the parking lot, so made sense to do it while towing on paved roads.

Good idea in the fans, might be worth a look.

Vegas desk cutout

Ted,

It is a rubber ducky antenna, but shorter than this one. I wonder if they are interchangeable.

Did you just unscrew from the base or have to dig out the caulk?
