That looks much like how I routed mine!

 

The most important thing to remember is to make sure your swr is is as low as you can get it. Having the antenna on the trunk will make your signal directional meaning what ever direction your car is pointing that is the direction of the signal. Oh, Nice job on the routing of the coax.

 

I'm hoping I can locate a friend/stranger with an SWR meter I can borrow since I don't personally have one.

 

Not sure what your location is but if you were/are in Michigan I could help out. I have an swr meter.

 

Hmm, I may have to take you up on that offer. I'm likely driving up to MSU from Chicago the weekend of April 11th. Where in Michigan are you?

 

No problem. If you need my number then PM me and I will give it to you. Don't mind helping a fellow CBer. I live in WARREN, MI
