I think CK is right. Remember that the AstroBeam antenna has a typical reflector and a director, while the radiator is only about 12' feet long or less. For years when that one was reported to work you hardly ever heard anyone say anything bad about its performance. So, as far as the physical radiator length question goes, I think the length can work both ways, long or short, it don't matter as long as it's resonant.
