No the antenna is NOT able to be made shorter. I think either UPS or FedEx will take up to 160 inches of length plus girth, so we should be OK. Someone else suggested sending it as checked luggage, which is a possibility, except for the problem of getting it from the airport to me. A 10ft antenna won't fit into the vehicle and no one wants to drive an hour with the windows open in February in CT.
