3. Some "experts" may "claim" 5/8 wave mobile antennas are not possible because
they would need to be 23 feet high. They are wrong! Physical length and ground
wave performance are not the same. If you ever hear someone make that claim, ask
them how a handheld CB can have a 1/4 wave antenna 8 inches long and mobile 1/4
wave antennas can be anywhere from 12-60 inches long in spite of the fact that a
physical 1/4 wave is 108 inches.

LOL! Looks like the same e-mail that firestick sent to me when I told
them they didn't have a 6 foot 5/8 wave antenna.

I am not getting into a ****ing contest with you. I am not an expert on
antennas, hence I ask advice from people like Sideband, Chad, etc. People like
you OTOH, seem to only one to do one thing. You like to one up somebody else.
You offer no help. If you have a problem here, it's with Firestik, not me. I
suggest you take it up with them.

A little too sensitive Vinne? I would hardly call what I said as
"starting a ****ing contest"

Nope. I am curious as to why you find a "LOL" out of Firestik claiming that
their antennas are 5/8. That is what causes to to LOL? Your family get-togethers
must be a blast.


A 5/8 wave antenna a feedpoint impedance of about
150 - j600 ohms.

Now if you think that will match your CB, hey more power to you.
I have this bridge for sale... you know the rest...

SO what you are saying is their antennas do work on 27 MHz?

Yes, they do work quite well..

So won't it maych my radio?


You have a 6 foot antenna that is 1/4 wave electrical length..

They are good antennas, but they are not a 5/8 wave antenna...

Um, I don't ever think I said that.

Hey, if you got advice, then give it, and I will appreciate it. If you want to
mock me and flaunt your supposed knowledge, then go ahead. I could really give a
**** if you are that petty. That is your problem.

Vinnie S.

Geez, sorry Vinnie, I didn't mean to **** you off.

Don't flatter yourself. You will never **** me off.

I wasn't mocking
you.

Nope. You just find LOL humor in a Firestk claim. I think you mock yourself.

I made a simple statement that a firestick is not an electrical
5/8. Then instead of asking for an explanation, or why I said that.
You take it personal, and go off the deep end.

Yeah, you made a simple statement where to LOL at an antenna claim, and then had
a bridge to sell me.

Why don't you just offer advice and be useful in society?

Hi, Enzo. I think he was LOL'ing about firesticks somewhat over-stated
antenna specs. Sounds like a 'failure to communicate'. ($-cool hand luke)
