Abstract
An antenna construction having a whip supporting sleeve with a depending support pin that is received in a socket in an antenna support sleeve, and with an insulator in the socket electrically separating the support pin from the support sleeve but providing a predetermined capacitance therebetween. The insulator rigidly connects the support pin to the support sleeve to resist lateral loads on the whip in a manner preventing cracking of the insulator. The antenna includes a structural inductance in parallel with the built in pin-socket capacitance to allow a shorter whip at resonance than the prior art base loaded antenna.
