The only issue is the use of a base-loaded CB antenna...who knows where that was resonant, if anywhere.

Very Nice Install, this has me re-thinking future projects of my own and for other people. That mount has a lot of expansion possibilities.

I will test it out and see how it does on Lo-band and cb reception. Not a lot of lo-band where I reside. Thanks for the idea. I prefer to make do with what is laying around. Learned that from my ham radio elmer(still good friends). Always tried to build homemade antennas. {Read cheap into that }
