You're are right CK, this thread is about mobiles.

I think I tried to make some reference to the fact in my first post here. That was post #26, and I talked a little about this idea for mobiles, but I just got carried away a bit. These questions about mobiles was how I got interested in antennas long ago and discovered that testing mobiles was not fruitful, there are way too many variables.

I don't want to appear to hijack this thread in favor of a 1/4 wave antenna base idea. I can start a new thread to try and unwind the confusion going on here. So, I'll wait on the DB first, and see if he can post the links to his sources showing the impedance for a 1/4 wave is typically 35 ohms though like all the claims are suggesting here.

I have looked back at some of my old notes in 2009 when I did the 1/4 wave work and I see a few 33 ohm reading with a little reactance...but back then I was using a feed line and that is no way to really test any experiment on antennas.
