Yep, I ziptied mine to the cross bar, all it did was fall over, not off.
Wilson Lil' Wil. Took a low hanging (as in scraped the entire roof) branch to knock it over.

I never had any problems with an antenna
Mine was one of the CB's that was on the blink and trail led on Saturday. As was the case with someone else, mine was fine when I left home but developed an intermittent connection once there. I did fix the problem before the run on Saturday though so that shouldn't have been a problem.
The issue with CB's is that when they don't work it's hard to know if it is the sender or receiver that is the problem. I have tuned my antenna and some people say I come in loud and clear at very long ranges and others cannot hear me at 100 feet. You would think that as old of technology as CB's are they would have these issues resolved. The real problem is that CB technology really isn't great technology to begin with.
I'm 100% for FRS radios as they have none of the Tx/Rx issues of CB's. The only down side to FRS's is that with the handhelds you add the problems of forgetting to bring them, losing them, and having working batteries. On top of that a CB seems to be the first thing people buy when they plan to go wheeling.
As far as other changes to WF? Free camping was great. I can't think of anything that I would want changed. If
could provide me with better heat in the bus that would be nice. 
Great job as always.
