Other Receiver Antennas

Hi
Another silly question :)
Most receivers come with antennas that are at best 2 inches long some shorter.
Could a person increase the antenna length by simply adding
to the length by soldering another section to it?
Would it make any difference in reception and if so what type
of wire should I use?
This is just a curiosity thing :)

The antenna length is based on the frequency it is trying to receive. Some of the antennas, this is the entire length of the wire from solder point to tip.
Other antennas use a shielded wire which the antenna length is the portion of the wire exposed beyond the shield. Pretty much how the solid antennas work on the FPV systems.
