I just bought a very inexpensive Cobra CB radio. It didn't come with an antenna! I enjoy making things, so I was wondering is someone could help me out on building an antenna. Just a little advice that's all. I could buy one, but I really don't feel like spending $40 on something that I can do myself. Thanks for any help.

check to see which of these connections matches your antenna! hope one of these helps. if you can't get the contact points down (which is the important part) you can probably find one at a junk store off of something
