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?

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.

I'm trying to understand why a CB antenna needs to be able to "handel"
50,000 Watts. :0

Easy!
Just in case it should ever have to. Right?

Probably has to do with the "Maserati Syndrome", you know, crazy people
with more money than sense and like high powered "things."

Here we go again. Years ago we had a 50 KW CB thread that endured and
endured.

I'm just aghast.

You've got to understand CB lingo. That's
50,000 watts forward power (with 49,990
watts reflected power.) :-)

Try quoting me correctly next time.
The word in the ad is "Handel."
