234 / frequency in MHz

234/ 160.890 = 1.45 Ft

He is asking for the length of a full wave whip- so multiply the above X4.
However, bear in mind that full wave whip will:
1. Be more difficult to feed as its end Z is around 1K Ohm or higher.
2. Have less gain than a 1/4 wave antenna at useful elevation angles.
