CB Antenna / Spare Tire Mount / Query
For everyone that has an antenna on their spare tire mount, what kind of distance can y'all receive? Is there any problems with the ground plane? I want to locate my antenna there, but am skeptical about the grounding and high SWRs.

Hmmmm...couldn't we run a 'ground strap' from the arm to the frame to solidify the ground connection?

If so does it work?

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.
