Other important features besides the wide bandwidth and low angle of radiation, is the fact that they are static noise resistive and may be tuned to higher frequencies (test bench results showeed the frequency raising 300 KHz for every 0.125" of fiberglass/wire removed from the antenna. The core is 3/8" (0.375" or 10 mm) solid fiberglass (special Firestik formula for balance of ruggedness and flexibility). The conductor is that of double insulated 19 guage copper wire. The covering is made of high quality PVC with added UV and pigment stabilizers.
