Surprising! Ham Radio Vertical Antennas-Are Longer.

A fascinating study of "LONG" Vertical Antennas from Callum (M0MCX).  Callum discusses the pros and cons of long vertical antennas from 1/4 wavelength to 1 3/4 wavelength, including the popular 5/8 wavelength. If you can't see the video, please insert this title URL into your browser search box:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2GKNQb0OPA. Here are some comments from Callum (M0MCX): This is quite interesting. Let's compare small quarter waves right up to 1-3/4 wave antennas including the famous 5/8. Why are large verticals sometimes not as good. And why they are sometimes better? You might like this. Callum.
