I bought a magnet mount cb antenna from radio shack. Put it up on my
suburban. At about 40 miles per hour it blew down and almost fell of
the car. I put velcrow in between the base and the roof of the car(i
know, it's the only thing i could think of). Will this interfere with
the ground? The bottom of the base didn't have any metal "contact"
points or anything that i could have covered up plus the car is painted
so how is it supposed to connect to the car to get a ground connection
anyway? I can pick up signals pretty well.(i think, this is my first
cb, can you tell)

Get a Wilson 1000. I do 75-80, and it's sticks like glue.
