  1. 5 1/2 foot Francis was the best result for me but the last radio I had all I had was a 4 1/2 foot barjin I bought a truckstop and people could hear me all over the place with that thing. It started off a spare an antenna I used to clip on with vice grips, and then the guys were telling me one night that that thing sounded better than the Francis so I started using that one instead.
