My end-fed wire on the wooden fence 1.8 meters AGL works pretty good. 6
over 6 over 6 monobanders would do better [by actual test, they do [:-)
], but RF current in a non-buried conductor will radiate.

I wonder if a wire taped around the circumference of the carrier to
form either a loop or a Moxon-shaped thing and fed in its center might
not work, if the carrier is non-conductive and contains non-conductive
things.

Some of us (admittedly, very few) see invisible mobile antennas as

My own search just got an unexpected boost when I realized that a 4
foot loaded whip would fit fully inside the plastic cartop carrier on
our Honda CRV. As we speak the whip is resting on a pile of
nonconductive pillows and towels. I have yet to measure their
dielectric effects. Six feet of coax snakes through the sunroof and
is then retained by the passenger-side visor.
The KX2 fits snugly in a dashboard compartment that until this
morning held my YL's Bonnie Rait CDs. More on that later if
necessary.
I've been listening to the NA QSO party on 20 meters as we drive. Not
the best Mobile antenna available, but one step closer to nirvana.
