Welcome to the forum Dragos. Your English is fine.
What kind of 1/2 wave (model ?) are you using? Tell us something about your installation. Maybe you could send us pictures.

I am using an Albrecht Gpa 1/2 wave 550cm lenght. My rig crt 6900n and a modified kl300 amplifier , max power 220 watts
if your area does not typically have high winds and/or heavy ice or snow, get a Sirio New Vector 4000, install it as high as convient. If not, get an A99 or Imax made for CB.
In our zone , most cbers are using sirio 827 , Mister Marconi , what are you thoughts on that antenna ?
5 element Yagi.
All verticals will perform more or less the same.
Buy some aluminium pipes and diy: http://sp3gem.smoczyk.pl/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=79&Itemid=64

Dragos:
Any 5/8 wave antenna is going to have more gain, so it is always preferred over using a 1/2 wave.
If you can get the Sirio 827, then that will be just fine.
Mount the antenna 30 ft above the ground for best results. Make sure that if it should fall, that it cannot cross any mains power lines. And be sure to put a ground rod at the antenna mast base for lightning protection.
