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.
