I'm surprised we don't hear CB manufactures making claims about their .528 wl model antennas, and/or making negative counter claims about the fading problems for users of their competition's 5/8 and .64 wave model CB antennas.

I also noticed that Maxwell used the word "only" in his closing remarks for this topic, while describing the 1.03 db reduction in gain, in telling us that Broadcasters maintained their standard...using 1/2 wave antennas.

This too might be said to be a distinction...worthy of note.

I miss a good understanding of some of these "Elmer" type guys from time to time, and I've commented as such. But, like I've said before, "...we don't always get much out of just looking at the pictures."
