More so for transmitting than for recieving. An ideal antenna would be a factor of the wavelength that you were transmitting or recieving, i.e. 1Xwavelength, 2Xwavelength, etc... but this could result in a very long antenna. 1/2 or 1/4 wavelength antennas are acceptable alternatives but not as effective.
You can use this equation to calculate wavelength:
wavelength=300/(frequency in MHz)
As frequencies go up, corresponding wavelengths go down.
