Detuning sleeves? This is the first time I recall anyone mentioning them on any CB or Ham Radio antenna forums I frequent...

Just because there is a tube present in that location does not make it a detuning sleeve. I would have to get a close up look at a Starduster antenna to confirm or deny this. I am not saying that it is impossible, but at the same time I doubt it is the case. There is one in my neighborhood I will go have a look at sometime soon...

You have the 13'th edition of the ARRL Antenna Book. That is the only edition that this information is on that specific chapter and page. I would recommend using that instead of the "Hall edition" as multiple different editions of the ARRL Antenna Book were edited by Hall, through the 16'th edition (I'm not sure where he started as editor, at least as far back as the 13'th edition book that you have).
