top load vs center load antenna

Precisely why I suggested copying Neverready's idea

 

Oh i know but im surfin anyways...By looking for ideas on this i discovered other stuff i should know,not antenna related but still..

 

heard that too bad their aren't many of them with our trucks and the equipment we run...

 

I've got someone who already built a new 955 with the amp underneath it. it has 4 2879 Toshiba pills in it. I'm buying it Wednesday or Thursday.......

 

opportunity knocks so I'm answering.....

 

I'm sure rabbi has the best ideas on top loaded antennas.....

 

#2 can you just use a longer bottom shaft on a center load with out trimming the top or will that put everything out of wack? the reason for this was i saw preditor has a 10 inch shaft or a 27 inch one but yet the over all height is the same so im assuming theres a reason for this.id like to have a 27 inch bottom and long top also or is that just a waste? if so whats the best top load antenna? thanks for any feedback fgb3



Measure from the top of the antenna to the ground. Subtract that distance from 13'6" and increase your shaft length by that amount.
Retune for resonance.
