No correction factor required for insulation on Whip
To verify above statement, I ran analyzer with insulated and bare whips, both 67 mm.
The test proved that correction factor for insulation is not required.
Both gave same VSWR (1.4) and both were resonant at same frequency (1090 Mhz).
Please see photos below:
