Antennas may be horizontal, vertical or circularly polarized
-- Whip: Commonly λ/4 .. 5λ/8 .. easy to handle for handheld
 --- May cover more than one band, 10-80m, 6m-450MHz
-- Rubber duckies are less than λ/4 and may be multiband
-- Dipole: Half-wave (λ/2) often part of a beam / Yagi
-- Yagi (beam): multiple λ/2's in a flat plane
 --- Multi band beams are commonly called log periodics

Antenna measures 1λ = 1 wavelength -- λ/2 = 1/2 wavelength -- λ/4 = 1/4 wavelength
Two Meters (2m) ~= 76 inches :: λ/2 ~= 38 inches :: λ/4 ~= 19 inches :--: duckie shorter
