What are you looking for a vertical or horizontal antenna setup? How much money are you wanting to spend? There are a lot of antennas out there and without some more info it's hard to tell you what you want. JJD knows ALOT about antennas , I know he made the coat hanger comment, probably because you haven't given enough info as to what you want to accomplish with your antenna setup. Like I said, let us know what you want and what you are willing to spend and I am sure a good antenna choice can then be made.
sorry i have had 2 strokes and could not even talk but now i am doing better. I used be into cb but i sold every think i had.I had 60' of tower and a moonracker4 with a cobra 2000 and a old 12 tubeer.Right now i only have a rci2970 and I do not have a lot of cash.I live 29 miles froum coppers and they have a99 and i-max and i looked at the m-400 also ther was a guy on cb junkies on utube that used a 102 whip and some copper wire.If you guy"s want me to get off cb junkies yes tell me

I would use an antron 99 or an imax 2000 if your on a budget. If you want a beam get a maco v-quad.

Antron will bleed all over the place and the Imax follows suit. Maco V58 is an excellent choice for a reasonable priced vertical. Rumor has it the Sirio Gaymaster is decent but you can't put much power through it.
I believe the old Penetraor has been resurrected as of late. That would be another great option. Here's a link:

I've seen a 30 year old penetrator survive a NJ Nor'Easter unscathed. Good piece of equipment.
since you have a 2970 i'll recommend a gainmaster .

it has a very wide usable bandwidth covering much more of the frequency range your 2970 covers than any CB antenna . if you already have a external tuner try a vector 4000 if you don't get high winds and ice . if you get pretty harsh weather the penetrator already suggested is a great antenna .
