A. The antenna is too long B. The antenna is too short C. The antenna is too high D. The antenna is too low None of these answers are right. The correct answer is: The antenna is exactly right. The reason is that this Novice intends to use his Novice license long enough to get to 13 WPM and get his General. He then intends to retire to 75 Meter phone and ragchew forever. Therefore, he has cut the antenna for 75 Meters and is just using it in the Novice band until he upgrades. 73, /Rcc (K1BC)
