    Yeah the water pipe would work....Got a picture of one fixed like that? No, I'm not having receive issues. I say that because of how far away I can hear the truck stop chatter when approaching W. Memphis. I'm hearing skip good also.

    I was actually thinking about doing that a week and a half or so ago. Shouldn't be reflective, and I can stand the thing up a bit straighter.

    As for losing trucks 3-5 miles away...remember, it could be (is likely) their setup doing that, not yours.

    I watched a guy in a Cascadia, using the stock antennas with a stock radio, go from pegging me when he was right beside me down to S-3 in 1/4 mile.

    He probably had his radio tweaked at Wolfman CB shop.

    With the pvc support would you fill the end with silicone to keep the pvc from cutting into the antenna as antenna vibrates or sways a little?
