Hi Simon

I'm sorry, but you keep asking difficult questions of the radio community.
Many of us will NOT assist you in breaking the law.  You keep buying amateur
transmitters and now your asking for a CB antenna, which I understand to be
an ilegal CB UK band.  Or is this yiki wrong?


   Many CB users who witnessed the noisy and unruly conditions on 27 MHz
wanted to get away from all that and use
   the superior 934 MHz UHF CB allocation. In fact, the cost of cutting edge
(at the time) UHF radio equipment
   meant that only the more serious CB operator would use the band, a nice
though expensive haven for mature CB
   operators, and radio hams who didn't like the 'red tape' of amateur
radio. At first the range was limited, but
   as antenna restrictions were lifted and better equipment started to
appear, the number of UHF CB operators
   grew. The 934 MHz band was eventually discontinued by the government on
[23]31 December [24]1998 due to low
   user numbers. The main reason for the public refusing to accept the 934
MHz band was its cost (up to £500 for
   a radio), coupled with the fact that by the time reliable Japanese
equipment became available in the
   mid-1980s, most people had opted for the noisy and cheap 27 MHz, or gone
on to take the Radio Amateur Exam.

I suggest that you undertake the amateur exams and you'll develope the
skills to build your own antennas legal or ilegal but don't ask us to do it
for you.
