Traffic seem to be bigger, because of good propagation.
But CB is dying. Slowly and boringly.
In Poland I can listen road channel for days, almost all the time quiet. No cars with antennas, nor on homes.

Conductive objects, especially big ones affect antenna, usually bad way. Vertical, horizontal. Skew antenna pattern, affect gain, resonance freq and so on.
2 λ is considered as safe distance.

I use old radios, because new ones sucks.
I use President Jack, PC-122, DNT Carat, President Grant PC-999.
I wish to get Cobra2000GTL and President Madison, GE3-5875A.

Hello.
If you want to build antennas swr meter is not enough. I would say for that task is not needed at all.
VNA is a tool you need. At least original Hugen H4.
Than you will measure antenna parameters you should know.
SWR- it is least important antenna parameter.
