Cb aerial?

[Matt]

Where do you guys mount your cb aerials? I'm planning on mounting mine tomorrow but unsure where to put it? Thanks

Put mine on the nearside front wing, close to the windscreen pillar, then it could bend back and be clipped down on the roll hoop.

I mounted mine on the back bumper
I've got a 1.5m whip antenna, sticks up higher than the top of the roof and makes driving through low car parks very amusing!
I need to dig it out and put it back on really

i have mine on the driver side front wing just above the headlights.

Mine is mounted to the tailgate at the rear, my fathers is mounted to the n/s rear wing



I don't like them up front, it annoys me them swinging around and i always think the aerial is going to ping back and chip my windscreen

Are these still being used,not used Childrens Band since the late 70's,that was when it was exciting when it was illigal

[ScottieJ]

Yeah it's the perfect way to chat while out in a group offroading, really helps while driving in convoy to meets as well.

[RickUK]

@ScottieJ,never really thought about it in that aspect,but saying that would be no good for me as they call me 'Billy no mates'

Even driving around with 2 cars is made much more interesting when you can communicate!
I'm looking at doing ham radio licenses as a bit of a hobby.
Not really popular with off roading, but with a quad band radio you can pick up some interesting stuff!

Cb guy in maplins reckons you ideally want it as high as possible and in the middle of the roof to get the biggest ground plain for receiving.
