CB Antennas

We are using an aluminum body F-150 for a pilot car vehicle. The regular CB antenna was not getting any range. Installed the Firestick NGP kit and now we have lots of CB range and its working perfectly.

I have HOA issues but can set up temporarily things so I bought a tripod made myself a telescopic mast out of different sizes of EMT so I figured I would try this 12 foot antenna I did not expect it to work as good as an IMAX or penetrator, but figured it would be a little better than the quarter wave ground plane that I made out of 102 inch whips since it has an extra 3 feet I also ordered the groundplane kit for elements for this antenna because I read online that people were having issues with ground plane, but my homemade antenna made from five 102“ stainless steel whips out performs it by quite a bit local skip basically in every way band with wise if you need a small antenna do yourself a favor and just make a quarter wave ground plane out of four or five 102 inch whips it is better. If it’s not a size thing just grab one of the bigger better and tennis 18 to 26 feet thumbs down. Mac K 224 Southern New Hampshire.
