Hi Everyone,
Now I'm gonna feel real stupid asking this...buuuuut,
I really would like to know...so, here goes. How come
the formula for a half wave dipole is 468/Freq but the
formula for a Full wave loop is 1005/Freq. I guess My
real question is, why is the loop formula 1005/Freq.,
and not just 936/Freq ??  I've always wondered that,
and just never asked, so NOW I am, lol. Like for
instance, if I wanted to make a 3/8 wave inverted "L"
would I use 377/freq or 351/freq??  

Thanks and 73,
Daniel N9WX
