The original TV antennas were designed with the longer rods to pick up more of the old analog signals than the short ones that feed the TV would. That way you got better reception and not so many ghosts. When we had antennas here I figured out all the frequencies, we only could receive 6 stations and cut aluminum rods to the exact length of each frequencies wave length. Worked great. No standing wave refractions at all.
