Good magnet mount car antenna [Posted on 2007-11-26]
Pros:
- Very strong magnet attaches firmly to the vehicle
- Narrow whip poses little wind resistance (see importance in the text below)

Cons:
- Nothing compares to the 102" whip (any junk CB station will sound like the most expensive electronics work of art with a 102" antenna, but a whip of this length is not feasible on a regular passenger car).

This antenna is reasonably long for a four-wheeler (passenger car), and still not too long for low ceiling garages and similar spaces.

The truck drivers have been my best friends from the moment I realized how helpful they can be on the CB radio waves and nowadays mainly for security reasons I refuse to drive on a highway without a CB station. I have a number of them and a number of magnet mount antennas. One of them was almost as long/high as this one, but was wider and had a weaker magnet, so one very windy day while I was driving quite fast on the highway the wind blew it off my roof (and kept me wondering for 10 seconds how on earth it can hail on a sunny day, till I stopped and saw that the antenna was hanging by the wire and flipping left and right across the roof of my car). After that experience I used a much shorter, about 10" antenna which can never be blown away, but its reception and transmission abilities are pitiful. Little Wil antenna has the best value for me because of its combination of length, magnet strength and narrow profile for low wind resistance, and its thin and very flexible whip can get through even lowest garages.

Gold Standard for entrance into real CB performance [Posted on 2008-08-22]
If you want to buy a CB, anyone radio will do for normal everyday use. However, the antenna makes or brakes you. After frustratingly buying several smaller more discreet antennas, I purchased the Little Wil. I prowled the internet and it seems near unanimous that the Little Wil is the best and smallest low-price antenna you can buy and still get the performance you'd expect out of a CB. The antenna is around 3 feet, which, while not tiny, is not big by CB standards. Properly tuned, this antenna will get you several miles of communication. I travel daily in areas where cell phones don't get out, so this was a good investment for me.

Great CB antenna [Posted on 2008-11-24]
This antenna has served perfectly for my use in a pickup as I travel. Makes my cobra work and sound great. Attached by a magnet that does not move.
