[Healeys] Radio antenna

[tomfelts at windstream.net]

Mine was one of the skinny metal antenna's so it tended to flap around.  If I hook it up again, I'll use a larger one.  I did kinda like the looks of it.  My problem with the CB was that I couldn't hear it at speed.  Don't think it had ear phone jacks either.

You could put a mount on the rear bumper attachments and mount it there.  I had a CB antenna there once and it looked pretty good.  But--at speed it tended to "flap" around a lot.
