Default Receiver antenna wire length

What is the typical antenna wire length used for 72Mhz and 50Mhz receivers. The receiver itself may have a loading coil inside, but what is the wire length ?

1 meter is a standard length for all the receivers I've seen; anything from 39 to 41 inches works well whether you are on 27, 50, 53, 72, or 75 MHz as they are all base loaded and factory tuned for that length.
