They wanted to get the best possible antenna for going mobile(Car)
True, one cannot use a 16 foot whip on the exact center of the car for the
best omni directional performance.
Some swear by a 7 foot whip that has a load coil in the middle.
Should you go fiber glass or metal whip. One thing for certain. You want
as much radiator
as you can. I have a home brew vertical. So I will scale it down.
I would also consider 7 foot of fiber or metal. Then find a inductor at
the end of the 7 foot
rod. I would consider a loading coil and an additional 2 feet of solid
radiator.
I made a decent 20M ant out of 2 CB antenna'a A 10/11 meter whip can be
found any where.
