He's already said that he worked it out incorrectly (full length instead of quarter). However, a full length whip would be no good for the receiver either!, although it won't damage the receiver (as it may the transmitter!), it still won't work properly - the severe mismatch will reduce the reception sensitivity just as on the transmitter it will reduce the transmitter output.
