CB?
 
Who has a CB radio? Which kind, how is it mounted, what type of antenna, how/where is it mounted?

I do not have one yet. It's on my list. I don't see me using it much, so I think I would get a cheap one, if not used. I'm leaning towards a Cobra Dxiv or a Midland 1001Z. The midland is about $15 ~ $20 cheaper, but from what I've read this is reflected in the materials used to build it. Plus, honestly I don't know much about CB, I've never heard of Midland, but I have heard of Cobra. As for the antenna and mounting, I'm thinking of just getting a firestik and then doing a bandi mount or get some bracket fabbed up to mount on the spare tire holder. Thoughts?

Dither from the blue room's ham antenna mount.

If I wanted the joyful experience of communicating with Truck Drivers I'd go down to the elementary school, get kicked in the nuts and then hang out in the retard room for the rest of the day.

Hello Capt Sensible, You have shared a nice technique for setting up an antenna. I think this is the best for it. I'll try too.
