102" whip

A 102" stainless steel whip can be beat by some shorter (loaded) antennas. Wrong. By it's very nature, a loaded antenna loses some power in the loading coil and therefore is not as efficient as an antenna without one. The only way a shorter antenna could outperform a full-length 1/4-wave whip is if it had some way to pull down the take-off angle. So far, nobody has provided any theory or empirical evidence that any such antenna exists, or is even possible. The 102 is the best portable antenna you can buy, bottom line. (cheap too) It takes a real CBer to drive around with one every day tho. |
