That's what I thought.

Although LC shiedaway from challenging the notions of the heavyweights who were speculating that it was some other wavelength antenna, he was, in my opinion, on firm ground with offering the direct quote from the patent that clearly stated the electrical properties of the antenna as opposed to other quotes that appeared to be stating the construction/mechanical characteristics of the antenna. Many antennas, esp mobiles, have conflicting mechanical lengths vs the electrical lengths that they operate at. . .

It appears to me that it is, according to the patent, a 1/2 wave antenna.

Hey, Doc, we are running low on nits . . . can you help  ;)
