Marconi.....if you are loking for PROOF that a resonant 1/4 wave antenna ON A MOBILE INSTALLATION is ALWAYS 35 ohms you will not find it. It does not exist. The 35 ohms impedance is over perfect ground. A mobile installation, no matter how good it is, will never be that perfect ground. There are far too many variables in the size and shape of the vehicle as well as total surface area and bonding. All these variables affect ground losses which in turn affect the end resulting impedance. You may get close to that figure with a near perfect installation but I doubt you will get the exact proof you are looking for.
