I have a few questions for the people that know about rf.

1. So it is just length that matters not height, when i think about a rf wave i would think a upsidedown L shaped antenna would work the best.

2. Does the antenna have to be able to coduct electrity? and if that is the only requiment then the pcb pen idea should work.

3. Stranded or Solid core, most people go solid but the person that seemed to know the most about this kind of stuff said that it gave more surfaces to chatch rf, which would mean shape and gauge would matter greatly, but then i have read the paino wire seems to work great

This is mostly speculation so dont take any thing i have said to be truth at least until someone backs me up...
