Well, I just ordered a complete Paulchen set up from Steve at Eurocampers. I am getting ready for the summer vacation, and have been stumped by where the heck to mount a CB antenna without drilling any holes. Then a thought occurred to me: use a clamp-type mount and attach it to the top-most horizontal bar of the Paulchen, then route the cable in through the back hatch. I bought a "truckers mirror" type mount from Radio Shack, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to mount my K40 antenna to it. It is an L-shaped bracket designed to clamp onto a tube, like a truck mirror. Anyone ever mount an antenna like this before? I'm curious about the quality of the signal, since the ground plane will end up being just the rack, and it will be mostly vertical rather than horizontal. In any case, I'll let everyone know how it goes when I get it installed. Brent Christensen '89 Syncro Westy "Klaus" '95 Cherokee Sport
