“Antennas are generally full wave, or a precise fraction of a wave for the frequency.”

Wild. That sentence describes the concept behind any antenna length… and somehow you tried to correct it by picking one length and describing why it won’t work for a specific design?

This is a really negative approach to introduce concepts of antenna design limitations to the conversation.

We’re talking CB, where whips are almost exclusively used. It’s important to note context. When it comes to whips, 5/8λ works, but 1 λ does not.

If we were talking a service where dipoles were relevant, I wouldn’t have mentioned it.
