And don't forget a 6" spring to make a total length of 108" -- it will be a
little easier to tune that way.

Do you consider a telescopic steel antenna one that is "in sections"?

Thanks

Yup. A non-telescopic antenna is all one section.

A telescopic antenna will have resistance between each section, reducing the
efficiency. If the antenna is similar to car radio antennas, with nothing
but friction to hold the sections up and make the connection, the perfomance
may not be too good.
The best option is a single piece steel type, although I imagine that they
can get in the way a bit.

Can you get 102" telescopic mobile antennas?



Regards,

Peter.

I can't keep from breaking the 36" one on my boom box.
