Default Wilson 1000 Antenna Question

Actually, the entire car is used as a ground plane. Why do you think 1/4
wave ground planes have 9' radials? Just to make them look cool? By your
theory, they could get by with 3' radials.


I've got news for you... the radials you speak of... and a solid 3'X3'
sheet of metal are two different animals. The surface area and shape of
the two is vastly different... or haven't you noticed that... LOL
