Is that a pair of "trucker" CB antennas, mounted on the rearview mirrors of
the cab? As I recall, that's pretty directional, right down the highway.

I caught and passed a guy who had the antennas properly spaced (he said)
but in line, at the front and rear of the roof of his van.

He had great range to the sides of the highway, notsomuch down the road.

The proper length of the interconnect is... 3/4 wave, which is 1/2 wave of
physical cable? Or did I say that backwards ;-)
