An antenna mount for an antenna, such as the antenna of a citizen band (CB) radio, is adapted to be rapidly clamped to an outwardly extending member such as a rear view mirror support bar of a truck. The mount includes first and second metal plates having clamping portions for holding the support bar therebetween. The first and second plates are connected together at one end by a hinge, and the clamping screw is used for clamping the first and second plates together. The antenna and an antenna connection cable are connected together at a receiving portion or aperture of the first plate so that the ground conductor of the cable is in electrical contact with the first plate. An electrically conductive member is connected to one of the plates and engages the support bar when the plates are clamped together. The antenna mount, therefore, provides an electrical ground connection between the electrical ground conductor of the cable and the metal of the support bar through the pointed member and at least the first plate.
