Does it matter how long the wire is, if it is copper? My antenna just recently broke off, and I put some copper wire on, and it gets crappy range. The wire is about 2 inches long-is that long enough?

This is getting ridiculous. You wanna fix a broken antenna, get some wire, stick it on. What kind? Who cares. Make it match the original. You wanna experiment with something, try it. If you get good results, post here. Geez Louise.

its not experimenting, its proven, the cat 5 copper wire does give yo better reception that the stock wires, and 4-5 inches is perfect is you want a great range.

Hmm...I think I will just unsolder the copper wire I put on that is too short, and put another one on! YEA! That's what I'm going to do!
