I've also been looking for a base antenna that isn't very large, most of the ones i have seen are at least 16ft long. If i can find something a little smaller, it'd be perfect.

With my custom 89xlr on its way in a few days, and with the little one down for a nap. I'm now trying to figure out what antenna is right for me. I haven't asked my landlord if it is okay, but i am almost positive he wont care, as long as it does not look too much like an eyesore. I'm trying to...

Thanks for the replay cannon. Back in the day ( 10-11) years ago, i used to be in a cb club. Every night we would gather on channel 14 and talk about anything, from our love lives to work, the latest radio/ antenna, etc that we just got. Always had fun and we would help each other out with...
