Yeah! But suppose it were a FRACTAL BEVERAGE!!!

My theory in responding to questions about how long an antenna must be to
receive a certain station is as follows:

Extend an insulated wire from the antenna connection on your  receiver all the
way to the transmitter but do not connect it to the transmitting end; now
start cutting off 10 meter long  pieces from the transmitter side until the S
meter reads S-9 on the receiver, this should allow some fade margin. Sell the
excess cable for scrap.
