Jimmy, I don't see the connection between "resonant" and "1/4-wavelength",
at least from what you posted. And, in this universe, 4 ft. is NOT 1/4 on
10 meters...

Is an antenna that is resonant on 10 meters still a 1/4 wavelength antenna
if it is physically only 4ft long or would this be an 1/8 wavelength
antenna(more or less).I am saying this should be called an 1/8 wl antenna
though I am arguing with those who generally know more more about this

than
I. Not all the old timers disagree with me, so I am betting this is a

pretty
common problem when discussing antennas.
