2. Whip antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whip_antenna

   Whip antennas for portable radios are often made of a series of interlocking telescoping metal tubes, so they can be retracted when not in use. Longer whips, made for mounting on vehicles and structures, are made of a flexible fiberglass rod around a wire core and can be up to 11 m (35 feet) long. The length of a whip antenna is determined by ...

3. CB radio in the United States - Wikipedia

   The antenna may not be more than 20 feet (6.1 m) above the highest point of the structure it is mounted to, or the highest point of the antenna must not be more than 60 feet (18.3 m) above the ground (47 CFR 95.408(c)) if installed in a fixed location. [4] CB radios must include AM or SSB modulation and may include frequency modulation. [5]

4. Citizens band radio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_band_radio

   Typical center-loaded mobile CB antenna. Note the loading coil, which shortens the antenna's overall length. 27 MHz is a relatively long wavelength for mobile communications, and the choice of antenna has a considerable impact on the performance of a CB radio. A common mobile antenna is a quarter-wave vertical whip.

5. Land mobile radio system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_mobile_radio_system

   Land mobile radio systems are widely used by the military. Separate bands in the radio spectrum are reserved for their use. This includes portions of the 30-50 MHz band, and the entire 100-100, 100-100.8, and 540-2400 MHz bands, plus shared use of the 170- 170 MHz band.

6. Mobile radio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_radio

   The most common antennas are stainless steel wire or rod whips which protrude vertically from the vehicle. Physics defines the antenna length: length relates to frequency and cannot be arbitrarily lengthened or shortened (more likely) by the end user. The standard "quarter wave" antenna in the 25-50 MHz range can be over nine feet long.

7. Crown Equipment Corporation - Wikipedia

   Crown later decided to stop making so many one-of-a-kind trucks and developed two lines of E-Z Lift Trucks: an H series (hand-operated) and a B series (battery-operated). In 1959, when its lift trucks had annual sales of about $50,000, antenna rotators had annual sales of $700,000, [9] but the transition to the lift truck business was under way ...
