Car radio whip antenna question
Twitchell wrote:
I've seen some car radio whip antennas that look like they have a wire wrapped around them. The wraps are not close but lazily spiral down the length of the antenna. Does this help reception? Is the coil attached somehow to the car or just the antenna itself? twitch No electrical purpose whatsoever. It keeps the whip from whistling in the wind. |
