I forgot in my reply, I do occasionally use a "Francis" fiberglass CB 
whip without the typical base spring for 6m, primarily when I drive 
long distances, as it is a bummer to have to remove it to clear 
parking garages..

Francis CB antennas are orange in color & carried by most CB radio 
specialty shops, I use a quick disconnect on mine to ease removal at 
garage entrances..

I use a Ranger RCI-5054dx100..
