Re: OT: CB communication and motorcycles
 
I don't know what kind of bike you have, but on our Honda GoldWing, we
used the luggage rack as a base for the antenna. I found a mirror
mount type of clamp that worked perfectly to clamp onto one of the
bars on the rack. You also need to run a ground from the rack to the
frame of the motorcycle. The groundplane effect from a motorcycle is
very small. You need all the help you can get.
