In a different response, Ian, G3ROO casually mentions the "how to make it 
work antenna formula" for antenna builders, expecially those who always complain 
of poor experiences making home built dipoles, etc.  Read this and have it 
tatoo'd upside down on your tummy so it's readable while drinking a touch of ale 
or beer.....

>From Ian, G3ROO - 
"Make dipoles too long and erect it, now measure the
length and resonant frequency (with GDO or analyzer)  and multiply them
together,   Divide this figure by the {your} required frequency and it will 
give
you the correct length of the aerial." 

{Then just cut it to that size for the freqyency you plugged into the 
formula...simple, huh?}  BH 'BDZ
