Wow, what a terrible attempt at trolling.  I see the post you are responding to four pages ago, and of course, like a typical troll, you didn't even bother to link to it.  Go figure.




Physically, yes, no argument there, but physical length is not necessarily the same as electrical length.  To get from using your tape measure to the part you don't know, take apart the fiberglass sections, behind one of them there is a capacitor, as measured by a member on this forum a 42 pF capacitor...  Now factor the effects of this capacitor into the antenna's electrical length.  I'll wait...
