Antenna base what antenna?

[Bravojmc]

Hi guys, I am retarded when it comes to radio/antennas...
can any one tell me what antenna fits my base...?
here is my base.


Is there something missing at the top? Anyone have the info I can look up to find the right antenna? Thanks in advance

That looks like an as3916 that uses a steel whip. I think you are missing the nut that locks in the whip and is a special thread and hard to find replacement.

I have nuts and whips.
Whip would be a hassle to ship.

I used a 102" stainless CB whip, shortened it to around 62", re-threaded the top of the base, I think it's 3/8-24, used a small military antenna tip on top of the whip. If it's just for looks the length really doesn't matter. I used a swr meter to determine the length of the whip for the best match for 52Mhz for ham use .

Im going to be using it as a CB. I'm wanting the 102"

The nut may be hard to find, it can't be hard to make.
