Lou, I think I will leave things as they are as I do not want to get a long
string of messages started on the list.    I know the formula of 468
devided by the frequency but this is something different.  I do not want to
get the list all stirred up if you  know what I mean.  Thanks for your
response.

Fred,

As I understand it, essentially, 75 meters refers to the upper half and 80
to the lower. But its the same band. Usually to figure antenna lengths
you'd need to know frequency in megahertz, not wave length in meters. So
what frequency are you planning to operate?  73, Lou  WA3MIX Lou Kolb
