    I wouldn't recommend the 7 foot Firestick, just too much wind resistance torquing against the mount, even with extra support off the top of the mirror. I have one that the stud snapped off of. Sure wouldn't run it in the winter if I do find another one. Icing is a problem.

    I would never recommend a fiberglass antenna on East Coast during the winter time because of the ice issue. At least my antenna will bend like Gumby if I hit an eagle at 75 miles an hour and the 5/8" fiberglass insulator is virtually unbreakable

    I've run the 7ft SkipShooter now for several years. Braced like I have it, wind resistance is a non factor.

    Snow and ice where you live is a non factor also

    I had the 7ft skipshooters on my Kw for 1 winter and just like any other antenna i stop to get the ice off the antenna and never had a problems with it.

    Actually my predator were worst than my skipshooters whenever there was ice on it, the coils were pretty bad with the ice.

    You have to keep it knocked off. We only get a few ice/snow storms a year that might last a day or two, I might feel different if I lived in the NE.

    Best CB Shop in NE Ohio is at the Pilot truck stop in Seville, Ohio.
    At Rt71 & Rt 76.
    Kevin Williams really knows how to set up any CB right, at a fair price !
