Sparks flying from antenna's with linears, Cobra mobiles modified to double and triple their output, voice modulation that drives the signal harder, and the Antron 99 is the miracle antenna of the universe... For entertainment, a CB operator known as "The Duke" used to claim to be in foreign countries while talking to CB'ers and they were convinced they were working the world on their little modified (or electronically butchered) CB radio. It is easy to see how some myths get started. Michael Rawls does introduce some interesting facts about antenna gain. "''On the 27 MHz CB band, the taller a vertical omni directional antenna the higher the gain up to about 23 feet. [...] The highest real gain omni-directional CB antennas currently on the market are the full length 5/8 wave. [...] 5/8 wave and .64 wave antennas also have a much lower angle of radiation than 1/2 wave and 1/4 wave antennas. A low angle of radiation really pays off when trying to talk to distance skip station in excess of 1500 miles.'' "
