Can you repair a broken CB antenna? It broke off at the base. Seems pretty unlikely, but I figured it was work asking.

It's one of those Wilson flex antennas.

Brad, what kind is yours? I really liked my flexible one. 🙁

I'm not sure I'd be able to fix a fiberglass antenna.

I think the wilsons are made like the firestick, which is spirals of think copper wire around the shaft.

Fixing the shaft would be interesting, but getting the copper wire also fixed might be a challenge.

I'd hate to take it and not use it if Brad has a better home for it. I have one in the shed that I don't like...it broke the mount. Free is not always free.

If you've got a flexible one you don't mind parting with, I'm all over it! 😀

Any chance I could talk you into bringing the spare to Sierra Trek? Flexible and fiberglass would be sweet!
