Subject:Ham/CB Antenna Location
From:Steve Schwenk
Date:Thu, 19 Oct 2000 14:29:58 -0700

Has anyone had luck mounting a ham or cb antenna to the
steel roof under the luggage carrier up front on a
westy?  Is there enough ground plane to achieve good
SWR?  I do not want to do a side mount...unless the
performance would be significantly better.  I also do
not want to spend money on a good radio if i am never
going to be able to transmit well due to the poor
ground plane.

Thanks for any info.  And I'd love to hear any other
good mounting locations that have been tested on a
meter.
