I have an old mag mount RS CB antenna with a 24" (approx.) telescopic

Audio cable ain't RG-8/U, but is it enough to handle 30 watts FM on
10M?

If it is 24" long, it has a coil somewhere. That coil is designed to
handle 5 watts AM. It might handle 30 watts SSB but probably not 30
watts FM.

On such a short antenna, the whole thing may be helically wound. I once
bought an 18 inch long 11m antenna for RC use. It consisted of wire wound on
a fiberglass rod, covered with a plastic sleeve
