The Rod of WHO???

Is there any documentation of the .64 λ being better than a 5/8 λ ? I've read many antenna books and articles in mags and on the web but don't recall any mention of this.Hell I can't think of any mention of .64 λ antennas other than for CB/11M.

i just built a .64 DIPOLE. Its pretty bad ass for a wire antenna. its all unbalanced/balanced feed and match (and if it can handle power -that helps too). Going to make a second one just for 11m and see if it out performs my modified v5000 5/8 wave which is higher in the air. as for the mobile - the 55 half waves are the shiz for the $$$ - youll be kickin base stations asses. hell you can give a good beatdown with a 2x8 and a set of those.
