Default Fiberglass Motorhome

I am about to begin the installation of a cb in my 31' motorhome.
I'd like any info regarding antenna, coax length, power options
and anything that I didn't think of.

I'd like to know what problems you encountered and how you overcame
them. I want to know what works and more important what doesn't.

I will follow this thread closely. Thanks.

On the internet, no one can hear you modulate.

I went there and the chase began. I've been reading for a week. It seems
that a screwdriver or possibly the texas twister may do the trick.

I was going to use an old midland that I love but after looking at those
antennas I'm leaning towards my yeasu.

What do you think? Will these antennas work on a 9' high motorhome?
Has anyone here seen such an installation?

Thanks

Down here when were on the beach we don't worry about mounting them very high
for any dx talking but then again that's usually the only reason were ever on
the beach to begin with. Nothing like 4kw's and a ground plane on the salt
water. Tall antenna's are a problem for the local talking city dweller type of
operators. Btw, how have you been Jim? It's great hearing from you! Kp82 in
Galveston is gone...........



before anyone asks how does one put up an ant99 off a mobile home i saw
a setup using a 6' tripod about 6 meters off the back of the m'home. he
was on the beach and smoked. problem he had was securing it against a
stiff wind.

Sounds like a wonderful order for those to fall into.
