That well known international unit - LOL.

I asked my nephew today ( age 18 ) if he thought in feet - he doesn't. It's metres for him.

Graham

It's

In that case he should use 150 instead of 492 for the length in meters for a

1/2 wavelength antenna in free space and start around 143 instead of 468 for the electrical length in meters instead of feet.

I keep forgetting the world standard is not the American system :-) Metric would be beter for everyone.
