Go to your local CB shop and ask them for a broken whip (the ones with the copper wire wrapped around the fiberglass rod). Easy to trim with a grinder or dremel tool. Stay away from the Francis antennas as the wire is embedded into the rod. Most are 1/4" to 3/8" in diameter. Oh ya.... they're free :) Tedd Doda, VE3TJD Lazer Audio and Electronics http://www.ve3tjd.com My idea of a symphony: 8 pistons playing the tune my right foot tells them to.....
