I agree, without getting into theory, antennas are cut for specific bandwidth. I have notice the same on GM truck antennas over the years between GM telescopic and fixed mast antennas. It's hard to located a decent OE fixed mass truck antenna (FM) anymore and the aftermarket stuff is a little flimsy - So, I'm modifying a NOS GM fixed mass 1978/82 Monte Carlo FM antenna to work on my truck.
