All,

Please don’t flame me, just asking a question!

We use CBs to communicate while elk hunting. I have always used a magnet mount antenna. I am contemplating adding a 4” x 4” plate to the top of the cab using some double sided tape to allow the magnet antenna to “stick” to. Will the antenna have an adequate ground plane? Not really concerned if the plate is affixed permanently if this idea is valid! I have a 3’ hood mount Firestik but I also have a high rise topper and I get very poor reception and transmission if the person I’m communicating with is behind me. Just going through all of the options! If anyone has another option please let me know!

Thanks in advance for your replies!

All you need to know about Democrats is they call American citizens "Deplorables" and illegal immigrants "Dreamers"!
