    i need the best option for a cb antenna for my scale house but do not want a 18' bas antenna. The roof is about 20' up with a all metal roof, wood a popular magnetic cb antenna work? or do i need a NGP antenna?

    at one employer i was at, they had a simple cb antenna that would fit a truck's mirror mount. they had this mounted on the side of the building, and just barely reached over the roof top.

    i would at least use a 3 to 4 footer antenna. magnetic base.>??? uh, maybe, maybe not, see if you can get a side mount kit, just above the window? where the cb will be located?

    side mount
