Facts about HF (ie CB) antennas.  You need 3 things to be heard: Grounding,
Antenna length, Antenna height.  I've used a marine antenna mounted on the
side of the luggage rack with great success.  They are self grounding (1/2
wave design) so they don't require a big magnet or drilling of metal,
mounting on the luggage rack gives you the height, and they are long enough
to give your signal a bit of radiation.

Good Luck
