Mobile antennas
What approximately is the wire size that manufactures
have gyrated towards for whips or mobile antennas capable of the legal limit. Have heard some mobile stations on the air using the max power and it got me to wondering TIA Art |

Have heard some mobile stations on the air using the max power and it got me to wondering TIA Art Well, To *me*, I would want at LEAST #14 gauge. Of course, the large the better. The rule of thumb, I believe is approximately one wire diameter per turn. That would equate to the #14 wound at 8 turns per inch, and 12 @ 6 TPI and so on. www.qsl.net/k4kwh 73 Jerry K4KWH |
