The first and second pic is a 1/2 wave co-linear J pole.Looks to be 10 or 11 meter band,has about 3 dbd gain.These can be built for any freqency and work great.Just a little big for CB,about 26 foot.

First two images are of a "Droopy Drawers" CB antenna (I forgot who made those).

Third photo shows a 2m J-pole on the left and a UHF colinear on the right.

Fourth photo is an older 1/2 wave CB antenna, missing the short ground planes.

The fourth one looks like an old fiberglass Shakespear Big Stick.

Nope. The old Shakespeare Big Stick was a 2-piece fiberglass antenna. The one is the photo is clearly 5 sections and aluminum.

I stand corrected Tech 883. I didn't notice all of the joints earlier.
