i think..............the reason the 11 meter CB ringo isnt made any more is because the FCC doesnt want aluminium cb base antennas sold because they think cbers cant put them up without hitting power lines and cushcraft doesnt want to rile them up .

i just try to understand things and when i dont understand or something is different from what ive read (and hopefully comprehended) im not afraid to ask questions . i am selective about who and what i consider good sources of information because not everythin or everybody is correct . i know sometimes you guys have to dummy stuff down for me (and im gratefull for that) but ill never know why if i dont ask why .

i was of the impression that all antennas needed a ground plane of some sort to work against . if half wave antennas don need a ground plane or ground elements it seems they would be great for mobile use , even though it would need more coil length to shorten for acceptable height . some folks go to great length running ground straps to bond their vehicles to get their antenna to tune .

im here to learn , if ive gotten something bassawkards then id like to be corrected and told what is really going on .
