Anyone running CB's in their truck these days?

Now that's a fancy pair of Rabbit Ears. Avanti was high-end stuff as I recall.
I got a pair of Twin Truckers [at a truck stop, of course]. Don't have enough exposed mirror support tubing on my '71 Jimmy, as the PO put on Squarebody TV-style rearview mirrors, but I'll think of something.
There used to be a Ham trick, of splicing a variable capacitor into one side and making the co-phased array into a variable sweep array. [So you could 'point' the beam in a certain direction by tuning the capacitor's dial.] I don't know enough about advanced radio theory to do it myself. I'm looking for an old-timer who still remembers that trick.
