First you gotta dig up a SWR meter (Standing Wave Ratio meter)... There are a few people in the club that have them.  Then using that you can adjust the antenna (most antenna's have some way of adjusting... mine has a tip that I can turn to lengthen or shorten). 

There's lots on the internet that describes how to tune an antenna such as this page here

I've only done it once or twice myself so I'm by no means an expert but its not really that difficult if you do a bit of reading first.

Do you meet the REQUIREMENTS will? These are not suggestions.

You must have:
CB (no FRS)
Front and rear tow points, with your own tow strap.
Good MT or AT tiers. Bald and street tiers are going home.
Your rig must be in good mechanical form.

Family Radio Service... those cheap little radios they sell all at Can Tire, Wal Mart etc.  They are used by families at amusement parks, people on jobsites etc.
