Scanner at Chicago Race Track Question

I am new to taking a scanner to the races with me, so a quick question? At
Milwaukee they said to use the 'stubby' anntena. Now I have gotten tickets for
Chicago, which obviously is a bigger track. Will I still want the short
anntena or the regular-longer one?

Zip slowly, medical statistics show that over 100,000 people are injured
annually by their clothing.

Yes the stubby will work fine. I used one at Las Vegas a couple of
years ago and had no problem hearing the cars anywhere on the track.

Yup the stubby will work just fine.

stubby antenna will cut down on channel overload and intermod from adjacent
frequencies at the track according to the scanner manufacturers and
retaliers.
