I agree but there are trolls and this user might not be the one we are all thinking but pattern is the same.
To the OP, if you are not dualantenna, semi-truck, cobera2000 and several of the other "handles" used then I sincerely apologize.

I stated above that if the admins who can look up the IP address the op was posting from say that he isn't who I thought he was I would publicly apologize, and I stand by that statement. It hasn't happened yet.
I've looked up some of your posts and they don't sound anything like a certain individual. Your posts have a completely different writing style to them, which is keeping me from thinking your less than a month old account was created by the same person... That being said, these are the forst two posts I remember seeing from you.
If you think I don't try and help others all you have to do is take a look at my previous posts on this and other forums to find out otherwise. I do tend to be a stickler for details sometimes though.
On a more serious note, assuming that he is who he says he is (a big assumption at this point as he keeps doing the same stuff)...
That isn't enough to give a good answer, which is another hint that he is a certain individual. Two questions that immediately come to mind are:
What is the antenna going to be used for?
Where is it going to be used?
Also, you have to define what you are looking for. I can suggest any number of antennas with any number of different properties that might suite you, and no antenna even comes close to being the "best" antenna for all situations.
Until I get more details my answer above remains...
You could ask "Whats the best car" and be in the same boat... err... vehicle... err... situation...

Oh wait, he did narrow it down some...
It is hard to beat the price of 18 feet or so of wire being hung from a tree or something else that is tall. Cut the wire in half and feed one to the center conductor of the coax and the other to the shielding. The hardest part here is running the coax away from the antenna at a 90 degree angle. You can go a little longer and simply fold the tips of the antenna back to tune it. The antenna doesn't even have to be perfectly straight to work well.
If your looking for a ready made antenna most of them that are under $80 will perform about the same. They will only really outperform the design I described above noticeably if they are mounted higher than that one...

I am NOT the other person BUT...
I've been reading post from other poster's just to learn
how the mods operate on here so NOT to get in trouble
It seems the MOD's need to realize that everyone that
POST in the CB sections is NOT going to be a ham...
Will not have the same values of hams and
Therefore should run on a little less tight of a stick in THESE
SECTION's of the forum.
CB'er's may have just found the forum off of google
Simply searching CB Antennas
If YOU could see all the info I see including user IP addresses you would see things differently and understand COMPLETELY.
coba buy a hygain sp-500 best vertical mantenna ever made you will be happy with this antenna put up at a height of 18ft minium or higher the better.

We do very well answering questions to newbie radio nuts, after all we were all noobs at one time.
The subject above has been here under several user names asking redundant silly questions, that is why he is treated as such.
C/K has been very tolerant of him, but I am sure this will not end well.
If you do a quick search of the usernames mentioned you will see the reasons.

And with Jeff's last post this thread suddenly screeched to a stop for four days. Almost as if a nerve was struck or something. Yes IP's can be read by amins and mods and even when they decide to use a proxy like pools.spcsdns.net it can be traced using the proper look-up tools.Often it is then that the posters supposed location and his real location are found not to match up. Sometimes a person simply posts in the same manner regardless of the username he chooses and simply gives himself away.
Sometimes we admins may be a little dumb or slow but then there are times when we may just act that way while feeding out enough rope for someone to hang themselves with.
BTW I am still trying to understand why someone would be a fan of Coba radios. Never heard of them myself.
