I am thinking of getting a Twin Trucker for my Ford Explorer...
I would mount the antennas to the roof rack and run a ground wire since
the racks have a rubber gasket to prevent leaks. I also want to use
springs at the base in case I get some low branches etc.
Will the springs hinder the quality of the signal? If so, is it marginal?
Is the ground wire idea ok?
Rinning a Cobra CB.
The spring becomes part of your wavelength, no big deal. I'm not sure
that you'll gain anything with the twins, except if you're in Texas and
also add some bull horns to your hood. Then the gun rack looks better.
I'd put a single Wilson roof mount, right in the middle if I were
you. ( not the magnet, although they work well too) ymmv
