Default Colinear antennas


Is it allowed to post here a question related to antennas and without
crossposts? :-)

Reading the content of the other threads, I'm not quite sure...

OK let's try nevertheless:

A colinear antenna is using alternating sections if coaxial cable whereas
the signal is travelling half inside the coax, half outside.
The length of the sections should be half wave considering the velocity
factor of the used coaxial cable.

I would tend to consider the velocity factor only for the parts of the
antenna where the the signal is travelling *inside* the coax cable.

I know, my reasoning is probably wrong, but why?

Thank you for your advice
