2. Citizens band radio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_band_radio

   After the 1973 oil crisis, the U.S. government imposed a nationwide 55 mph speed limit, and fuel shortages and rationing were widespread.Drivers (especially commercial truckers) used CB radios to locate service stations with better supplies of fuel, to notify other drivers of speed traps, and to organize blockades and convoys in a 1974 strike protesting the new speed limit and other trucking ...

3. Rubber ducky antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_ducky_antenna

   The rubber ducky antenna (or rubber duck aerial) is an electrically short monopole antenna, invented by Richard B. Johnson, that functions somewhat like a base-loaded whip antenna. It consists of a springy wire in the shape of a narrow helix , sealed in a rubber or plastic jacket to protect the antenna. [ 1 ]

4. Turnstile antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnstile_antenna

   A turnstile antenna, or crossed-dipole antenna, [1] is a radio antenna consisting of a set of two identical dipole antennas mounted at right angles to each other and fed in phase quadrature; the two currents applied to the dipoles are 90° out of phase. [2] [3] The name reflects the notion the antenna looks like a turnstile when mounted ...

5. Mast radiator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mast_radiator

   A typical mast radiator and antenna tuning hut of an AM radio station in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, U.S.. A mast radiator (or radiating tower) is a radio mast or tower in which the metal structure itself is energized and functions as an antenna.

6. Whip antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whip_antenna

   The whip antenna is a monopole antenna, and like a vertical dipole has an omnidirectional radiation pattern, radiating equal radio power in all azimuthal directions (perpendicular to the antenna's axis), with the radiated power falling off with elevation angle to zero on the antenna's axis. [1]

7. Monopole antenna - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopole_antenna

   A common type of monopole antenna at these frequencies for mounting on masts or structures consists of a quarter-wave whip antenna with a ground plane consisting of 3 or 4 wires or rods a quarter-wave long radiating horizontally or diagonally from its base connected to the ground side of the feedline; this is called a ground-plane antenna.
