It depends on what 102" you are talking about. Not all 102"
antennas are created equal. Some 102" antennas can actually
be beat by some shorter antennas.

Let the games begin.



What games? You're right. After the last major discussion on the topic
I did some tests and found out that the 102" stainless whips don't
work as well as the 102" fiberglass whips, the difference apparently
due to the ferrous nature of the conductor. But I have tried both
types on the truck and haven't noticed any -practical- difference.
