Lands and when overlanding. Relatively short distances but experiencing issues with the vehicle in front of receiving me when mounted on the back

I’m hoping that someone will have an ingenious idea for mounting a cb antenna to vehicles with roof tents that provides a good signal all round. I’ve tried the standard mounting on the rear but the antenna coil is obstructed by the tent. There lots of discussion about ground planes etc but not...

The only significant change I can think of is I’m running 10w40 oil instead of 15w40

Nothing significant
