CB Antenna mount

(1/3) > >>

fish:
Can any one tell me the best place to mount a CB antenna to give it the best chance of not getting knocked off on the tight bits when laneing? Also was considering one of these Thunderpole starter kits, as adversised in LRO are they any good?

Spare wheel carrier :)

Basically Ive only got the top tip protruding the roofrack, which is very flexible on a Sirio 4000, the base and the stiffer end of the mast is all lower down.

I got the idea from one of the technical http://www.discoweb.org articles.

pritch:
I've got mine on a gutter mount just to the side of the rear door, the idea being that if it gets hit, then it'll just fall backwards instead of knocked off.

Thats where mine was until instead of just falling backwards the bracket actually sheered into two parts  :(   And I was only going underneath a tree down the driveway into Tatton Park in Cheshire!!

Sheddy:
The only place you can put it with some form of saftey to it is the front bumper, but that gives crap transmission as the ground plane is all toward the rear of it.  The best place to put any antennae with regard to transmission/reception is the middle of the roof.

If you manage to find out the definative answer to this quandry, let me know and I'll put mine in the same place!
