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?

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.
(Was sitting in the middle of turn 4.)

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