Hi Fred,
The first thing to understand is that for the most part the CB 5/8, 6/8, 7/8
antennas have nothing to do with the actual height. Manufacturers started
claiming these lengths because the CBers believe(d) longer is better. At
least for the mobile antennas the 5/8 etc referred more to the length of the
wire used in the antenna- electrically, they were all 1/4 wavelength
antennas.

The ones you looked at, it seems, were all 1/4 wavelength physically ...
electrically?

So, in you book, you can have a 1 foot, foot -- a 2 foot, foot -- a 4
foot, foot --- etc.?

Regards,
JS
