Default Wilson 1000 Antenna Question

Drifter wrote:
I want to connect a mobile CB radio to a power supply in the garage.

My question: Is it possible to use my Wilson 1000 as a type of "base

station" antenna or will I have to purchase an antenna designed just

for base station use?

Any tips and info will be greatly appreciated.



You can use a Wilson 1000 as a base antenna IF you put a car sized
ground plane under it, although four 8.6 foot radials would work
as well. A full size antenna will gather more signal.
