It depends on your application as to the results you might see.

Ive never used one as Im partial to 5/8 wave antennas.
I believe the Golden rod is a half wave.

Stogie ...

Is this a cb antenna or vhf? If its a cb antenna then to be 1/2 wave it would have to be 18 foot tall. Commonly used on 2 meters a 5/8 th wave is about 45 inches tall.
