I have a very small (and cheap!) 24" antenna. Its sub par and the
antenna is too short for a good SWR reading, So I figure ill get rid of
it in favor of a 102" stainless whip (

Would it be a worthwhile upgrade? Or should I got with a 4ft fiberglass
antenna.

Also, is the 102" worthwhile without it being the full 108" I guess the
108" comes from the spring.
