That adapter is a lot longer than the ones I was selling.  You can still
use it, though, by rotating the driven element on the antenna so that
the TeleDongle rests against the reflector instead of fitting entirely
between the driven element and reflector.  Might look a tad goofy, but
it'll work just fine.
