To get the half wave length in feet, use 468/f, where f is in MHZ.

The 300 / f / 2 equasion gives you the half wave length in meters.

Subject: half wave length height equation 

Group,

I remember QST had an article on how to figure the optim height for a
horizontal antenna, and of course I can't find it at the moment.  I am
trying to remember the equation to figure out half wave lengths.

Does the following sound correct?

(H (in feet)=300/f (in MHz))/2 ?

With the recent conversation about verticals I want tofigure out the
optim height to hang a pair of G5RVs.

73s,

patrick
