"One could even, by trial and error, design a short antenna using a coil of wire wrapped around something like a soda straw." This is interesting. I've seen a micro electric Piccolo Pro with this kind of antenna but didnt know what it was called. What is it called? Was it made or bought? I wan

Is there a rule of thumb for the length of an antenna? I know that people run antennae through carbon booms, but that makes the entire internal antenna worthless, as the carbon absorbs the great majority of EMR. So there winds up being a little squiggle of antenna out of the back, which I thin

Hi Bill: Just to add a little to the discussion we should clarify the unknown 5% reduction in length of the receiver antenna. The calculation made by Art is correct for the total length of the antenna. Since the inductance and capacitance of the receiver is part of the antenna. Arts calcula

So far we have 3 folks who have measured NIB receivers and they got: 1. 41" 2. 40.75" 3. 38.75" Our antennas are quarter wave length thus the math stated by Art Mcnamee is correct. Though his stated 5% reduction is something I've never heard of. For channel 11, a quarter wave antenna would b
