#27.38 The main reason why many VHF base and mobile antennas in amateur use are
5/8 of a wavelength long is that:
it is easy to match the antenna to the transmitter
it is a convenient length on VHF

%Question: 40
#27.40 On VHF and UHF bands, polarisation of the receiving antenna is important
in relation to the transmitting antenna, but on HF it is relatively unimportant
because:
the ionosphere can change the polarisation of the signal from moment to moment
the ground wave and the sky wave continually shift the polarisation
anomalies in the earth's magnetic field profoundly affect HF polarisation
improved selectivity in HF receivers makes changes in polarisation redundant
