Height is much more important than length. I generally don't bother with
a horizontal run of more than 30 feet or so. For faint signal reception,
a moderate length antenna away from houses and power lines is better
than a bigger antenna near noise sources.

Funny you should say that. My 'Doty-L' (URL-above) is about 30-ft long
and 30-ft high. It's located in the backyard away from the house with
100-ft of coax lead-in on the ground to the receiver. It's the best
thing I ever did for reducing the domestic noise in the receiver.
