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

Sure...but only if you leave it mounted ON THE CAR and stretch the
cheapest quality RadioShack RG-58 cable to it over the longest distance
possible.

Do you have to wear a jump suit borrowed from goodwill too?

Thanks Brian, I'll remember that when getting new carpet for the house...LOL!!!

Guarantee that a Geo Metro is more than 9' Sqr of metal.

Maybe, but will a cb radio take kindly to 'your' math?

27 sq. ft. 'might' be a slight improvement.........

That's a really BIG stretch metro!


Put on some (big ass'd) 8' curb feelers for radials... U'd only
need 4... Is JC Whitney still around?? hahaha..

Moped, he should just put up a dipole as high as he could in the garage. No
ground plane needed. And the best part, no bickering !

It is also possible to make your own antenna from wire. A dipole
makes a reasonable antenna at a very low cost, and is easily mounted
or hung from something.


Listen to this guy !

All you need is 2 wires, and tune them to 27,200.

3' X 3', huh Brian? At 27Mhz? Is this some sort of magic sheetmetal with
superior RF characteristics you've patented? Glad to see you are not
building antennas.

That size piece of metal should work just fine... how big do you think
the roof of your car is where it normally sits... not much bigger.

Frank, please interject some reality into this thread.

Sure...But only if it's been ironed so often that it's shiny and
you can still see the "UPS" logo pressed into the cloth where the old
patch was cut off!

Yes, you're probably right... but the question is do you really need
more area than that. The answer is "it depends". It depends on what
type of radiation pattern you're looking for. The bigger the plane
underneath the antenna... the lower the angle of radiation. The 3'X3'
piece will work... but may not give as low a radiation angle as a
larger surface.

Can the alternator supply the audio equipment AND the transmitter on one
that rig? ha
