OK, now I confused.
I thought that is what I said.
If I was wrong, please explain to me why?
Is it because I didn't add that the length of the antennae needs to be the length of one cycle of the RF signal?

The length is 39.36996 inches or 1 meter in length.
This is from the PCB to the tip!
Its based on one meter wavelength.
Actually the receiver's antenna is about 1/4 wavelength. A full wavelength at 72 MHz in free space is 300/72 or 4.16 meters. However, I stand behind the others when they say that receiver antenna length is not critical. Close is close enough.
