Don't know, never tried it. Bought it for a specific application about ten
years ago. A change of plans made it unnecessary.

Sounds right to me, thanks.
How well does this antenna work for you?
I have not installed the radio yet.

Cecil is not fallowing along. I have an antenna just like yours and it
is
designed to work without a ground plane. It is designed for boats.

Are you saying it wont work?
Why would the manufacturer make a marine CB antenna knowing it would
be
put
on a fiberglass boat knowing that most people would simply hook up the
coax
and see it it works.
I read in the marine catalogs about marine CB antennas designed for
boats
and not to be concerned about a ground plane.
Anyone know the answer?

The boat is mostly wood and fiberglass, only metal is railings.

To what is the coax shield going to be tied? If that antenna is
an electrical 1/4 wavelength, where's the ground plane?
