Yes you are right. The antenna actually hits the garage door but not the garage itself (that's because the door can't be lifted outward to a 100% horizontal position so the lower part of the door collides with the antenna). Sorry I didn't describe it very clearly.

But a short antenna would solve this anyway. About the AM, what if I get a "not so short" antenna (10cm for example. There are some shorter ones out there)? Would that be better?
