Is my antenna too big for my radio?

Seems to me it would have less ...... Thst aside thee is no diffrence between a 5,000 watt ant and a 50 watt one on a 4 watt radio .......

 

The antenna does determine the clarity.

This sounds like the old Aluminum vers Copper debate ......

 

I'm not into radio's that much. It's just something I read on a CB forum. I'll see if I can find it.

Edit: I can't find that particular one but when they said size. The one I just read says the length should match the frequency.

I'll look some more. I remember it made sense what he was saying when I read it.

 

An antenna rated for higher transmit power will work just fine with a 4 watt radio.

 

Even the gargarge throu the glass antennas will take 50 watts ....

 

Well if the article said that, I don't need to read it because it ain't true!

 

My bad!......What I should have wrote:The antenna does not determine the clarity............Sorry!

 

Speaking of which................A mobile antenna can be made with aluminum?........I'm thinking of making a home-brew.Don't really like the way copper weathers.

 

Or Stainless steel ...

My 10, 6, 2 and 440 are ....
