At 27 MHz, any antenna shorter then 5 feet is a waste of time.

Not true. There are antennas at five feet that will match or even
surpass a 102" SS whip.
Bull****.
This has been shown before. Get off your fat ass and do an actual

P.S. A 1/4 wave whip of thicker more conductive material can't be beat
by a shorter antenna, but my comment was about the common 102" SS
whip.
Using Mmana to simulate antennas;
According to Tnom, you should get your "fat ass" out there and to the experiment
yourself!
I'd love to do that, might be a good winter project.
