55r4

the 102" is NOT wide banded on my mobile, iv wanted a 55r4 for many years but never had the opportunity to buy one.

The trade off for using a loaded "wide band" antenna is more of your precious mobile power being dissapated as heat and ground loses.
 
wide-banded? my ten-k with just 20w, at swr 1.0 from 26.000 thru 28.500.

really ?
two and a half MHz of bandwidth and not even a .1 rise from 1.0 , a perfect 50 ohms for 2 1/2 MHz ............. AMAZING !
what meter and tuning/install method did you use to achieve that impressive result ?

Most likely measured with an amp inline, with swr meter between amp and radio, therefore reading amp's input swr and not antenna swr. just my guess. i find it hard to believe that an antenna with "audio gain" can also be immune to reactance as well, that truly would be something special.:whistle:
 
why mad friend?

here you go: Antennas

i don't think jumpy 2.0 is mad, if you look at his location it is Catalunya or Catalonia in English. Catalonia while being recognised as part of spain internationally is a place fighting for its own autonomy for years and if i'm not mistaken is far from being seen as a part of Spain by the Catalonians.

Catalonia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

as you can see from the link they speak 3 different languages and none of them are English, which may explain jumpy's short and too the point comments in English, its easy to waffle on in your first language,not so easy when using a second or third language as many continental Europeans are very good at.
