hello everyone i am going camping next weekend and want to take my handheld cb radio, but my problem is that i cant take a full size antenna with a big ground wire and hang it in a tree. So instead i thought of using a telescopic antenna with a loading coil to tune it but i dont know what kind of load to put on it that would compensate for the length and the ground. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
telescopic antenna length= around 3.5 feet
