Just a tad over a foot.

 

As for the "just let it dangle" theory, I recommend something like a 1/4-20 nut on the far end just to keep the wire reasonably straight and vertical.  If it's all snarled up, you're adding weird amounts of inductance which might affect the range.  Doesn't have to be really heavy.
