Also, generally, the closer your antenna is to the actual wave length, the more power, I.e. radiated power you get, out. The rule of antenna reciprocity states that more power out also equal greater receive signal strength. I have not computed the wave length of our frequencies (the speed of light in meters per second/frequency in hertz.), but would think that a 16 foot antenna is closer to the wave length than an eight footer.
