Re: CB Radio
This (above). The 102" whip (unadulterated 1/4 wave vertical whip) is the one to beat. I've done it† but the antenna I made was only a little better, and didn't require a ground connection or ground plane like the end-fed 102" whip (it was a center fed dipole).
I had a 102" whip on my old truck, I could easily hold a conversation 5 miles over flat terrain. It might have been further, but I know it would do 5 miles, Radio was an unmodified Cobra @ 4 watts. As plain and boring as they come, but it worked.
† we have really high end antenna test gear @ workGloria: "65 percent of the people murdered in the last 10 years were killed by hand guns"
