Yellowbird, since my AM/FM 8-track does not have a power antenna wire (37-years ago they did not think of that on my model), I'll need to power this from another source.

My thoughts are:

Instead of rigging up some toggle switch and running wires to the dash area, how about splicing it into the rear side marker light system instead? I always have the running lights on everywhere I drive, day and night. This would allow for a switch and avoid additional wiring. What I'll need to research is any issue with amperage along this power source. Any thoughts?

And PLEASE folks....no classic jokes about accidently wiring it into the turn-signal power line...!

"When I make a turn...the antenna goes up, and down, then up again, then back down, and up, and down....." :p
