Bob:

Right now, the antenna is 88 feet on the long end, and 44 feet on the short 
end, to make a total of 132 feet.

My problem is that I was multiplying 132 times .66 for the long end, and 
times .33 for the short end, which gave me the irronious figures to begin 
with.

As Steve suggests, I should have multiplied 132 times .64 for the long end, 
and 132 times .36 for the short end, to get the correct figures.

Last night for a while, we were playing around with various numbers, but 
what I'm giving you here is the actual figures, and probably the figures 
that should have been, had I done the calculations correctly to begin with.

Is that making more sense now?
