Default Best type of aerial for a radio?

Your aerial is too long. The wavelength of 102MHz is about 3 metres
and your aerial is a quarter wave whip, so it should be about 75cms
or 30 ins long in total. Assuming there's about 6 inches inside the
radio then your add on bit should be no longer than about 2 feet.


Yikes!! Thanks Ian. I'd never have thought that it could be *too* long.
I'll make sure my coathanger one isn't too big. Thanks again.
