Shakespeare big stick fiberglass base CB antenna

[Turbo T]

Shakespeare big stick base antenna. This is a 1/2 wave fiberglass antenna. It is 18 ft tall and is made up of a 10 ft and an 8 ft piece. With a stock 4 watt CB radio and this antenna mounted at only 15 feet in the air, I have talked 25 miles when skip was not rolling. When skip was rolling, I was able to make contacts from west central Missouri to the Northeast coast and Southeast coast of the U.S., all on the same stock 4 watt CB radio $30. You pick up.
