[Antennas] Ground plane antenna for two bands

REMEMBER!!!

And this is WHY he MUST first determine what the antenna originally is.

All this below ONLY applies if the original antenna is a plain 1/4 wave 
vertical type of system.

If it is a 1/2 wave end fed or the ever popular 5/8 ths wave antenna all 
the below does not apply and will NOT work.

And  the likelihood of a base station type of CB antenna being only the 
1/4 wave type is very small.  I honestly can not ever remember seeing one.

Think the Mobile 108 inch whip that is a 1/4 wave antenna
