I don't remember how to do unit conversions with it, but the Calculator
program in Windows 7 can give you this information.  You can also type a
search such as "1 gram in ounces" into Google and get the conversion.  As I
remember it, it's 28.3495 grams to an Avoirdupois ounce and 39.37 inches to
a meter.  

The full length of a half-wave dipole in feet (allowing 5 percent for end
effect) is 468 over frequency in MHz.  This means that each half of that
dipole (a quarter wave) is 234/F.
