todays uhf question, which you are all no doubt getting sick of:

what are the advantages of a broomstick antenna, say 6 db, compared to a whip? is the signal any better? i know the bulk of signal comes from the base of the whip, does a broomstick transmit from higher up?

i presume whips are more likely to break from fatigue (not including contact with, err, foreign objects)

cheers, tim c
