I don't anticipate in rattling on the mike all day just keeping up on
road conditions wrecks etc.

I've tested a ton of antennas and the one I keep coming back to is a Hamstick made by Lakeview.
It's about 7' tall and I don't think he makes them for CB so I use a 10 meter and lengthen the whip until I see a flat SWR.
There's a lot of copies on the market but the real Lakeview Hamstick seems to be the best performer of all.
Only handles about 400w but out performs my Wilson 5000 with the 667 on it.
I use a 4-magnet mount and have no problems,
