Great success with antenna mod!
I just added a telescopic antenna to my tranmitter, and a solid copper antenna to my 27MHz MicroSizer last night. I added 16 feet to my starting range of 6 feet!

I found that a solid core copper wire gave the best results as a car antenna. I found that the small gauge copper wire that is in the middle of cable TV cabling (co-axial cable) is perfect! Strip off all the outer insulation and braided wiring, and you are left with a nice fine copper wire. IMO it looks better on the car with no ugly insulation around it to detract from the car.

It extends about 5 inches above the car, and now my total range with this 27MHz is about 22 - 25 feet indoors!
