Location: Cedarburg, Wisconsin		Slightly more range, but probably not enough to be worth the effort to change. An 8'er would help a lot more as your line of sight would improve more. It's not so much only the lenght of the antenna but how high the tip is above you. I mounted a 5 footer on the top of my garage about 8 miles inshore from Lake Michigan and I could hear boats as far away as 20 miles, sometimes more. The same antenna on the boat would barely pick up any chatter at all.
