New member here looking for some info on Humvee Millitary style Coil Whip antenna

[johnnyrako]

Do any of you know about this style of antenna and how to get it? I saw a guy with one on a H1 in Chicago and it looked cool as hell. I talked to him and he said he had it modified to work as a CB antenna. It was four years ago and I never thought I would own a Hummer back then.
Also, I have the dinky Hadley style air horns inside my engine compartment on my fire wall right now. I managed to get some big rig style 18inch trumpets. I am having a hard time finding a place for them. Any suggestions? Not on the roof though.

American Hummer in San Diego. I ordered the military bracket from them but then found something else. They have all of that stuff.

Does American Hummer have a website?

Crappy website but they know Hummers.

I am just looking for the same type of set up as the military use. It's an 8 foot whip antenna on a coil spring mount. They are VHF but can be converted for CB useage.

I would assume that you would be mounting an 8 foot antenna on one of the bumpers.... most likely the rear... just so you are aware, you WILL get horrible reception and transmission of signal if it is mounted on the rear bumper....
it might be aesthetically pleasing, but essentially nonfunctional.
