Herb, 

Maybe not transposed but not clear. I was showing the difference and assumed that it was understood that the difference is what was needed to be added to the antenna to lower its resonant frequency. The final comment was a suggestion to start with, say 25" when it called for 22" and trim as needed.

 Actually if you are going lower in frequency you add wire not reduce 
wire....so the formula results appear transposed.
