i could probably get some shorty antennas made/ make them. and they would be higher quality than those fubbared ones, but its not worth it. everyone always wants stuff next to free.

Laars, dude, the guy who makes them completely disregarded wave theory. Antennas should be made to certain lengths to obtain signals properly. If you could make speciffic lengths for the antennas, you could blow away the competition.


I'd pay you $35 for a properly made antenna.

^^ between 375mm or any division of 2, 187mm, 92mm, would make for good reception... Not needing anything big, but at least tuned for FM transmission and looking good.

I just wouldn't buy the other guy's antennas because they're not antennas at all. They're a piece of rod with a covering. They're a novelty item. Not an antenna.
