Discusses merits of SS vs Fiberglass flexing and also which is the better
radiator.

Can't vouch for it --- but seems well thought out.

Good Luck

Sorry never owned either so can't say which is better -- maybe some one
else
can help.

Two considerations though -- radiation efficiency and mechanical
integrity.
I suspect the radiation efficiency is about the same between the two.

Some offroad vehicle owners might comment on the mechanical integrity as
far
as banging into tree branches etc.
102" whips are usually spring mounted so have a certain amount of give
to
them.

Maybe a post at rec.radio.cb will find more responses from
actual
users.

Also a CB shop will probably have words of wisdom.

Is a fiber glass one better or worse than a stainless steel one?

Thanks

Guess you are looking for a 102" CB whip antenna
Radio Shack used to carry the stainless steel ones

AND here is a fiberglass one by Shakespeare for $9.00
