Short Mobile CB Antenna Advice

[Rwb]

Im thinking look and compare a k40 to a wilson lil wil.set swr to the channel you use most, 300 watts is pushing a 3 ft stick imo.but if your radio is maxing at say 50 watts pep it will work fair.but like i said my wilson is working fine but i buy a new 1 it could be no good . Many great suggestions above.

I ran a Lil Will and a Uniden 520 for a while. I could be heard 2-3 miles. I think the Wilson would be fine for what you want.

I'll be more than happy to build you a dummy load on a stick to your specifications.
6 gauge copper wire should handle whatever you want to put into it.

If you make a cap hat on a short coiled antenna like that and make it resonant on 27 MHz, it'll be far from a dummy load on a stick.

Just want to thank everyone for their ideas and opinions. I have decided to use a K40 T300PLUSBK (3ft) for around town use. Still got my other antennas for shootin'.
