| CB Radio Antennae
So I picked up a cheap CB radio the other day, partially just for shits and giggles, and partially because it will come in super handy while using Hwy5 during the winter months. In hindsight, I should have bought one last year before getting stuck up at the Summit during a particularly bad snowfall. 
Anyway, because my winter DD this year is a car as opposed to my old SUV, I need a CB antenna that doesn't have a five hundred foot mast. I know some of you offroaders use CB while on the trails, so I figured someone here might have an answer. I need something with a magnetic base and while I don't want a massive antennae attached to the roof of my car, I'd like something with a decent range.
Thoughts? Suggestions?

CBs are junk. if you're in CB range, you're in library voice range.
real men run VHF

i have a wilson 48" flex/whip antenna. i had a 12" antenna on a magnetic base. sucked donkey balls. i would permanently mount a fender bracket and co-ax cable. and screw an antenna in whenever you need to. don't forget to tune it. 48" antennas are pretty standard and offer decent range.
