No.

In urban areas, like Denver you really can't hear much of a difference since there are a lot of high powered radio transmitters close around. But out in the sticks (where you're listening to stations further away) the short antenna doesn't do as good. I'd guess at about a 20% - 25% reduction in long range reception.
