Mag Mount Antenna's Whip Replaced By V-Stub Wire Collinear

I see now where I made a mistake.

When you introduced this as a COLLINEAR ANTENNA I tried to understand how it works and hence my question about the wavelength of the lower and upper wire.

The lower wire being 0.13 wavelength means the top of it is not a high impedance point and the coil would not just be a phase shift.

At least now I understand what I don’t understand.
