    10k vs wilson 5000 or 102 whip

    a real solid core 102-108inch whip will not bend very much at speed. a wilson what ever will. a coil what ever will bend some but only the whip/stinger. this is why "some" see or hear a difference with a coiled blah blah antenna. the full length antenna wins every time if mounted corectly...
