Good radio and a good antenna are two important factors needed to achieve good quality two way radio communication. This rule also should well implement in CB radio station setup. Even you go mobile or you put your CB radio as base radio, these two factors will affect your radio communication quality over CB band. Especially CB radio which uses 27 MHz frequency that also known as unprotected frequency from interference.
One good factor of usage 27 MHz as CB frequeny is we can use such antenna that not too long in size. Working frequency at 27 MHz mean the wavelength will be around 11 meters. So put this 11 meter to calculation will result 1/4 wavelength will be around 2,7 meter. This antenna length is relatively short compared with lower two way communication frequency.
Put or mount your CB radio antenna as high as possible. It will lowering the take-off angle of RF pattern and will make it good CB antenna for long distance communication. But please comply with your local law about how high a CB radio antenna can be placed. Some countries limiting CB radio antenna to max 18 m high. But it might be different to some other countries.
