most radio supply outfits will provide an antenna mast to 78 inches, but you can get your machine shop to make a longer mast for a few $$$ extra
The principle of the lens antenna is THE EQUALITY OF THE PATH LENGTH.

The effective length of a half-wave dipole antenna is typically about half the wavelength of the frequency it is designed to operate at. This means the antenna's total length is approximately ( \frac{468}{f(MHz)} ) feet, where ( f ) is the frequency in megahertz. For example, at 100 MHz, the half-wave dipole would be about 4.68 feet long. This length allows the antenna to resonate efficiently, maximizing its radiation pattern and performance.
Answer: An antenna is a tuned circuit, so it have to be tuned to the wavelength of the signal that it will transmit. If the antenna is not tuned properly some of the transmitted power will be feed back to the transmitter and will damage the output stage, SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) is very important, that is the ratio between the power that is transmitted by the antenna and the power that is fed back to the transmitter a zero is ideal but not always possible.The lower the frequency the longer the wave length and a 1/4 wave length is the minimum length that will give one a good SWR. The formula to use when one design a antenna is 300/frequency in MHz, if the frequency is 30 MHz then it is 300/30 = 10 Meter divide it by 4 to get the length of the 1/4 wave antenna that is 2,5 meters.Note: The antenna have to be multiples of a 1/4 wavelength like 1/2 wave or full wave, a 5/8 length can be used but it will need a L/C circuit at the input of the antenna to tune it to the frequency.
yagi udda antenna has only one reflector...but it has many directors...depending upon gain and efficiency...the length of reflector is normally...more than one-half of wavelength... and directors have a length less than one-half of wavelength...
The size of the dish isn't as important as the length of the antenna. The antenna is INSIDE the little can at the focus of the dish. The length of the antenna is tuned to the wavelength of the frequency being received.

The length of a dipole antenna directly affects its resonant frequency; a longer antenna typically resonates at a lower frequency, while a shorter antenna resonates at a higher frequency. This is because the length of the antenna is generally optimized to be around half the wavelength of the frequency it is intended to transmit or receive. Additionally, changes in length can impact the antenna's impedance, bandwidth, and radiation pattern. Therefore, adjusting the length alters its efficiency and performance for specific frequency ranges.
Modern digital cordless phones use high frequencies - the length of the antenna is so short at these frequencies that its whole length can be incorporated inside the casing of the phone. The length of the antenna is 300 divided by the frequency.
The relationship between the length of an antenna and the wavelength it is designed to receive or transmit is that the length of the antenna should ideally be a fraction or multiple of the wavelength. This helps in efficient transmission and reception of electromagnetic waves.
It is not recommended to cut and splice antenna wires as it can impact the performance of the antenna. It's better to use connectors or adapters to extend the length of the antenna.

A short antenna causes higher than normal current to capacitive reactance and a long antenna causes higher than normal current to inductive reactance; a correct length antenna is free of reactance and appears as a resistance. Change the length of the antenna in small increments until you obtain the lowest (resistive) current.
You can extend an antenna wire, but the added length will reduce amplitude of received signal. You may need an in-line amplifier depending on the application and length of antenna wire.
The ideal length for an AM radio antenna is typically around 1/4 of the wavelength of the radio waves being received, which is approximately 100 to 300 meters.
how to measure the length of elements and spacing of elements
In wireless communication systems, the length of an antenna is typically proportional to the wavelength of the signal it is designed to receive or transmit. This relationship helps optimize the antenna's performance and efficiency in capturing or emitting electromagnetic waves.
