Most of the commercial SSB antennas are about 26'. Shakespeare makes a line
of them. Do a search of http://www.defenderus.com   for antennas and item #
251528. You are right on my using a CB whip. Don't tell the AH-4 that
because it works great. I don't use 75 meters and it tunes well from 40-6
meters.
