Default CX-5 Ham Antenna Install

Anyone have any pictures to share of their antenna install for amateur radio / CB radio / GMRS etc?

Nice. Is that a CX-5? There's some very small bull bars for sale in the USA but it seems only Australia has the full size ones like that.

You can also mount one to a receiver style hitch like the one below.

Looks a lot more of a fit with the car.

This one is only $60 and if you already have a receiver...
I don't have the need, but I've seen other styles of receiver mounts for CB/HAM and TV antennas.
They still have the magnetic and suction cup styles that scratch your paint and occasionally blow off
