CB radio installation... and aerial mounting

[diggerdave]

I think there's a case for having a sacrificial mount if you're offroading/greenlaning and have a fancy antenna. When I was in Scotland last year I came across a guy who had just snapped off his on a low branch and buggered the motorised loading coil in the base. No big deal you might think but it was £350's worth!

Ouch. Perhaps that's more of a case for having a cheap aerial. The trouble with a 'sacrificial' mount is that - in the case of my gutter mount - it's so weak as to be near useless.
