Yes, my stupid. w is a full wavelength.

HOWEVER, the assumed frequency is MHz. (megahertz), not mHz (millihertz) if we
are going to get picky.

- where "w" is a quarter wave in air at frequency "f"
-
-(A) 'w' is mis-identified. This is a _full_ wavelength in air, not a quarter.
- Assumes frequency in mHz, gives result in inches.

Life was *so* much simpler when you could just call it 'megacycles', and use
'mc' as the abbreviation, and everybody knew what you meant. grin

The 'computers' world doesn't help much, either. Where storage 'scaling' uses
upper or lower case, depending on whether it is a 'power of two' factor or a
'power of 10' factor. I can never remember which is to be used for which..
*sigh*

Frequency is measured in cycles, not cubits, bushels or yards.
Hertz rents cars.

There once was a woman named Mavis,
who thought kilohertz was depravis,
If number one wasn't enough,
and number two tried hard enough,
Kilohertz would soon become kiloavis.

Technically, frequency is measured in cycles per unit of time. A Hertz is
defined as 1 cycle per second. The term megacycles is incomplete due to the
lack of a time element. By the way, when did the ARRL officially accept the
Hertz terminology?
