hf transceiver

Dear
many thanks for your prompt answer.
i have been in aviation for almost 20 years and i have never heard such a comprehensive explanation about antennas and wavelength.
To clarify: the hf comm system of the airplane that i fly - the cl605 - is comprissed of two transceivers and of two antenna couplers operating within the HF frequency range between 2 and 30Mhz. The single antenna is engulfed within the leading edge of the vertical stabilizer, i am not sure of the type of antenna or of its length.
if the vhf antenna is 1/4 of the wavelength, what about the hf antenna?
when you key the transmission key, what does it mean that the vhf transmitter is adjusting to the signal? maybe that it is multiplying the signal to the length of the antenna?
sorry for my poor wording but i am pretty far from a frequency expert!!
