The best thing I've builtWehttamman asks: My dad and I once built a go-kart from chipboard, pram wheels and an engine from a lawn mower. It didn't work... so tell us about your favourite things you've made, and whether they were a triumph or complete failure.

If it's not resonant...... it'll radiate pretty well along its length. So if you're within about 20-30m of the wire you'll have a good strong signal.
If you want to go any distance you want the aerial to be resonant. There's a whole bunch of stuff that involves fiddly stuff with Maxwell's equations that explains all this, but I'm not in the mood for maths.

If you're tired of maths you're tired of life.(
