The farm at the end of my road uses CB on their tractors, they don’t have it on often but occasionally I can pick them up.
I only turn the cb if I am with others laning

Cheers all. Lots of things for me to try. I’ll ensure they’re all done and see if there is any “weirdo’s” out there ( other than myself)

LOL "cobra 1348GTLDX" that takes me back, my first rig! or was it a Superstar360, still cant tell the difference!
And a Thunderpole ..... the 'rocket ship' of cb antenna's!!
I had a Sigma 4 for about a month until the neighbours complained,
had to go back to my crappy modulator homebase.I remember my little cousin freaking out cos he thought I was picking up a 'rebel' transmission from space like in star-wars, he was heart broken when I explained SSB and bleed over!
PS IMO the Maxcom 4E coupled with a DV27 twig is............ the LR defender of the CB world

Update for reference. SWR check was off the scale. Checked earthing and continuity of coax, this was fine. New antenna, now SWR reading of 1.1 channel 1. 1.0 channel 40, I think this is close enough now.
Thanks for the help.

If it's anything like here in France, it's that no one is using it any more... In the 80's they reckon one in three car in France had a CB, but it's dead as a dodo now.
My car was fitted with one , as it used to belong to a Corsican guy who did guided trips of the island. I've not picked up a single transmission in the few times I've left it switched on.
A mate of mine is a truck driver had he tells me very few of them use the CB any more.
I only leave it there because it looks cool and otherwise I'd have a big hole in the dash.
