Re: CB Antenna / Spare Tire Mount / Query
The problem with running grounds is they create a high impedance to RF. Meaning a high resistance. Looks good with an Ohm meter but not really worth much. Simply put depending on the length they do no good. RF travels on the surface. So a strap is better than a single strand wire. So a short strap with a good width (surface area) is better than a long run or one.
If you have to do it, keep it short and wide. Increase the surface area. Otherwise the Antenna does not even see it as an RF ground.
