By their very nature, short antennae are standing wave antennae and not

In the case of at least 1/4 wave antennae, the standing wave exhibits the

and it follows
that because not the full quadrant appears on the antennae, then they do

The carbon expands as it heats up, and then the valves refuse to seal,

leads to a loss of compression, which leads to a poor operating ability as

I asked my cat what is likely the cause for this peculiar phenomenon, and
it
laughed at me and pointed to the northeast.

Sorry, looks like random garbage to me.
