When measuring & cutting wire to get Cone of Silence
lengths for Beverages, do I assume rightly that the
COS lengths recommended do NOT include the
15 to 20 meter sloping termination lengths at
each end?   In other words, a good COS length of
268 meters is really going to take 298 to 308 meters
of wire, right?    Thanks.

(Only made 110 QSOs during the contest this
past weekend, but it was my first attempt, and
it was fun as well as educational -- even nabbed
Hawaii !  ;-)
