re: radio antennae

[Joe Elliott <jee@domain.elided>]

Well my '82 has never had an antenna per se, and I've never been able 
to justify spending $7 on one, so during the summer I hook the radio 
up to the rear defroster grid, and it provides what is easily the 
best radio reception I've heard in a car.  If you live in a climate 
where the rear defroster never gets used, you might want to try this 
as a permanent solution.
