102" Whip vs. Firestick Antenna?

Question

Which Antenna is better for a CB? Firestick's antennas or an Old Sk00l 102" Stainless Steel Whip Antenna?

Answer 1

simple answer - length equals efficiency - nothing's gonna beat a 1/4 wave (102") whip for getting out and talking.  Firesticks claim to be 1/4 or 5/8 wave, but all that wire is wrapped around a 3 or 4' section of fiberglass - it just doesn't get out as well.  If you can get over the hillbilly factor (or prefer it) then go with the 102" whip every time.
