Antron A99 Fire-up upgrade
These blokes seem to like the GRK8 ground plane,how it it gives a better radiation pattern.
Workman Ground Plane Kit
Fire-Up 99 Antenna
Maybe worth a second look and as long as you treat it like a low power tuner and not run too many watts through it so that it won't arc/burn holes in it's winding.
I ordered a Firestik Fire up FS 99 from Wally World online(hopefully they'll have it in stock) because I want to se for myself how it performs on a A 99. I'll be running low power so that won't be a problem like someone did with their FS99.

The A99 antenna base is 1 1/4" dia.
Probably an 1 1/4" sleeve 1/8" thick walls could be made from rigid aluminum tubing for a zero clearance fit.

Disclaimer: I know that ground wave propagation is impossible at CB freqs.
