Is this a loading coil?

I'm trying to understand why a CB antenna needs to be able to "handel" 50,000 Watts. :0 Pete AC7ZL Cecil Moore wrote: James barrett wrote: Hi, I was looking up antennas on google, and found a radio shop's antenna page. These antennas have some kind of coil welded onto them. Are these what you would call loading coils? And by the picture I can't tell if the coil is at the bottom, middle or top of the antenna. Any guesses? http://www.mpaudio1.com/cbmobileantennas.html Presumably, the plastic looking things in the center are insulators which makes the coils = loading coils. But with CB antennas, one needs to be careful about presumptions as some are designed for looks only. |
