Default Re: CB Antenna Grounding Question

My GOBI is electrically grounded without any extra wires.

The Ground Plane is not Electrical Ground. It is the RF ground. The RF ground is created by the perpendicular metal vehicle roof. The closer you install your ant. to the roof and to the center of the vehicle the better the ground plane. My ant. is on the Driver rear corner of the Rack and my readings as of Sunday (tuned new antenna)

Ch 1 = 1.8
ch 20 = 1.3
ch 40= 1.7

'they' say anything less than 2 is good/operational, under 1.5 is great.
