Bells cb and why...

I’m gonna look at Red5’s suggestions first from his LT thread. I will try a mag mount base with a top loaded antenna, maybe a 4’ Everhardt Tiger I have already or a 4 foot skip shooter. That 3 foot mirror antenna is a joke.

 

I edited that last post.

Put that in the pipe and smoke it.

 

I’m gonna say that it’s a demotion going to this International. My brother has a machine shop, we could manufacture it in house.

 

Hardest thing to find is a heavy duty mount made out of stainless steel. If you have access to a machine shop it might be worth putting some time into designing a mount that's capable of handling a massive amount of weight.

 

My dad is an antenna kleptomaniac, he has picked up countless antennas off the shoulder of the roads in his almost 50 years trucking. He’s found some keydown competition antennas that were hand made, tuned out awesome, plenty of Predator 10k, Monkey Made’s, skipshooter, browning, you name it.

They all have one thing in common, the mount wasn’t sufficient and the antenna ended up on the shoulder, and now in a big storage bin in his garage.

 

I believe it was either Socrates or Plato who asked “if someone asks for a radio check and no one’s answers, did the transmission even occur?”

 

That's precisely true. It's kind of ironic that you're the one that said it though.
