Please define "long".

Which number of elements on VHF is considered adequate?

3-el
4-el
5-el
6-el
7-el

If an antnna is short enough to be easy to carry, it's probablly too short to nail down a source. That sounds flippant, but an 11 element 440 yagi was up to locating a pole and where on the pole the arcing was taking place.
