A Wilson won't touch a 1/4 wave whip, it can't even match the Sirio range, its got no chance against a full size whip.


as the DB has pointed out to you its not 5/8 wave, its a shortened, read less efficient 1/4 wave.and factually its a 1/4 wave with huge capacitive reactance, with an equally inductively reactant coil to cancel out reactance, the only thing theoretical is its a good antenna.
