Tib2K,
which are you calling the 101A ?
the one you have there is the late version same as mine,
they are clearly not cut for low vswr on higher frequencies unless we both have mast/coax current issues screwing the vswr curve up,
i owned the old version for a while in the early 80's,
my old timer buddy was one of if not the first cber in my area way before any cb shops opened over here,
he had an astroplane up in the early to mid 70's up to him passing in the 90's,
his was the same as the early one i owned with expanded upper tubes,
i don't think they changed the length of the elements,
i have some pictures of the old version with a tape measure beside it when i find the flash drive the pics are on,
i have no time at the moment to experiment with mine to find out why its lowest vswr low in frequency, & don't know where its resonant.
