I see the contradiction in the post. It’s local work that it was able to shut down the metal. The recieve however metal had fiberglass beat every time.

It’s also not often someone will run a 6-7’ fiberglass vs a metal coil antenna. I would venture to say the most common would be a 4’ firestik or k40 fiberglass as they’re the most popular in truckstops.

I don’t know Tim. I always take every person’s radio I talk to, measure the power wire length, gauge, count the strands and amp clamp it for power draw. Look at the foam insulation in the coax, jumper length, angle of antenna due to road speed and wind resistance. Lp100 measures output, bird43 for reflect all into a dummy load. Conduct a 30 minute in person interview with the tech, verify his test bench against mine.

Divide that by the times I roll my eyes reading things on this forum and it’s pretty scientific.
