What band?

[box23]

I am wondering if anyone can tell me what kind of antenna this is, or at least what band it is for? My brother found it in a bunch of CB antennas so it is probably also one but I haven't seen a CB antenna so short before. When I first saw it I thought it was a VHF antenna.

Here are some pictures to help you out:

The antenna is about 20" high, so it could conceivably be a VHF antenna, but it has a coil, as seen in the 3rd picture, which makes me think it's CB.

I don't think it really matters, but it has RG-58 coax and terminates in a PL-259 connector.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Brett

It's nothing more than a typical cb antenna. A low quality one at that.
Also I didn't know it was 2065 already? I had a long nap!lol

That's what I was afraid of. But thanks anyway.

My camera was going dead, so it must have been just dead enough to reset the date. Why it goes to 2065, I don't know.

Just another CB antenna. But you have one kick ass time machine!

As far as the date goes,I might be able to answer that. My canon does the same thing because it's the maximum year the camera will go to. I will be really old then!lol
