I run a CA2X4SR for UHF and VHF duties
I've got it mounted to a cooltech stainless gate mount that I hogged out to fit.
The beefy steel mount (and solid stainless bolts connecting to the sheet metal of the gate) seem to provide a reasonably solid RF ground, and are also physically stout. The height at which both the VHF antenna and my flexible Wilson 4 foot CB antenna sit on those mounts seems to work well - it protects the antennas from the vast majority of abuse on the trail.
