The best bet of all is to buy a trunk - lip - mount CB antenna,
should be around 20 bucks or so. The antenna will mount to
your front (hood) door edge, on either the right or left. So,
instead of being "trunk mounted," it's "hood mounted.


Do not use a CB antenna that has any kind of loading coil, either in the
middle or base. It will limit the frequency range of the antenna for
shortwave reception. A long whip is best, such as a 1/4 wavelength CB
antenna with no coil. Radio Shack sells them.
