After attending court earlier this week in which all I saw is the blue uniform [I was suprised of how many officers I knew!] I was glad to get back on the road again... only to see the Police again!

Can someone confirm what the callsign CA refers to? I am leaning towards organized crime division?

I was close! Organized... Thanks Robo

You were right technically. Organized crime use CA as well. All CA are unmarked except for the territory's you have pictured.

Have they got rid of the Falcon's?

Wonder how many times those large antenna's have snapped off?

i would lower the hf to tow bar level or higher that way the Large section of it doesn't have space to get hit on

I would say the transmitting part of the antenna started just above the roof line in that picture, you wouldn't want it any lower. It's obviously got an extension to actually get it that high.

The 'extension' is the tuning mechanism. There's a rather large coil and a motor in there, amongst other things.
There's a shock absorber at the base of the antenna as well as the spring at the base of the whip so it can take a bit of violence.

I think the extension he is referring to is the bracket (~2ft) that the autotuner is sitting on.
