I used this low tech solution to repair my broken radio antenna. I admit that, I stole the name from Yamajason as he never reposted his antenna design. Rawze blewup that design anyway. As I remember (could be foulty), somebody baited Rawze into commenting on Yamajasons Design for the Duck Wing Antenna. Rawze took the bait and posted an epic reply that throughly explained why it would not work. It was way more infomation than we needed (if you repost it, leave out the part about your X)
I learned more about CB Antennas than I could have imagined (limmited).

I attached a #14 solid wire to the bolt at the bottom of the remaining post. I could have attached it at the top if had not snapped off the stud in it while trying to replace the the antenna (I blame it on the wrench). The resulting Duck Wing Antenna works amazingly well and It has the added benefit of being below the hood (keeping my secret identity hidden).
