Actually it won't tune on 11 meters being too short for a 1/2 wave but it can tune as low as 2200 KHz with the coil fully extended.

The actual whip length fully extended is 16.5 ft.

I'll test people's antenna math and/or intuition to guess what the highest frequency within 1 MHz on this antenna will be with that long whip.

Clue: this extension whip is on 3ft screwdriver antenna.

Only 1 guess per person...the winner gets a their choice of a cordless extension cord or a metric crescent wrench. (I think I'm out of the wrenches though).

Good luck!
