For some reason I remember reading, listening , to a few months old QST
where they were saying the 468 didn't hold in all cases. I also took 80
meters times 39 and then divided by 12 and got within decimal points of the
same numbers. I know 39 inches isn't exactly the number of inches in a
meter but amazing how close it came out.
Man using 1005 calls for 279 feet that's 19 feet longer than the other way.
Almost a ten percent difference.
Maybe it's going to come down to cut and try with the antenna analyzer.
