Making a Ground Plane for various antennas questions
I my class C with cab-over entertainment center if I remove the big 26? CRT TV I have access to the underside of the front cap and fiberglass roof. I would like to install a cellular antenna and 2 meter quarter wave ham antenna. Would gluing a thin piece of metal under this part of the cap work for a ground plane? The area for the metal is about 30? wide by 12-18? deep. I know I can purchase antennas with built in ground plane, but I would like to use the antennas I already have.
TIA for any comments or suggestions.
