minus-square@FunkyClownlink2•11 months agoI always wondered what radios they are running with antennas that long. Is it HF for better long range communication as UHF (What a normal CB uses) a full wave antenna is only around 70cm.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•11 months agoI don’t think anyone is running around with HF?. It seems the longer antenna as pictured would be a UHF for longer distance over flat terrain.
minus-square@FunkyClownlink2•11 months agoAh, so higher gain and better for long flat distances. Makes sense.
