Do the math, 468/frequency in MHz equals half wave. To be more accurate
300000000 over frequency equals the metric wavelength and if you want a
yaggie 5644 over frequency MHz equals the half wave for the driven
element.

From what I understand, a six meter quarterwave isn't much bigger then a
two meter five eighths wave, I could be wrong on that, but that's what
I've heard.
