Default Problem with too long antenna?

Not me. It seems like a lot of people here are going to tiny AM/FM antennas. That's nothing I would ever consider. In fact, I went the other way. I won't be visiting parking garages anytime soon, not that I ever did with a truck

I like it. I never liked the stubby ones. Stubby ones tend to get crap reception.

I would go to a stubby antenna because I despise radio, but unfortunately I need it as a feeler for Halifax parking garages when I don't use my head and take the truck instead of the car out.

Why would you need a radio antenna that big?

All CB and 2-way radio antennas. Why not use Push-to-Talk phone if you really have a need for instant communication?
