Yes, smaller is better. I strongly encourage you to use 1/4 inch
antennas. It is like homeopathy, less is more powerful. Getting your
antenna length down to microns is the answer.

Are you suggesting I use a 33 ft tall mobile antenna?
Or are you just being silly because you have no other alternatives?


If a short antenna is just as good as a full size dipole, than why not
use a 1/4 inch antenna. Or might there be something said for large full
size antennas? Or could it be, size actually matters.

I love clueless latecomers...
