One way to make the antenna a little longer is to add a wider bit at the top, say a copper coin, or something like that. It will also receive a wider spectrum ...
Having a very overlong antenna will improve reception, as ham radio guys know, as long as it isn't totally out of phase. Ham guys sometimes use antennas 20 times longer than the usual 1/4 or 1/2 wave, with good effect! Very long antennas tend to be very directive, though! Transmitting is another matter, but widening the top of the antenna widens it's possible transmitting spectrum. Yours, Tord RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
