Thanks for noticing that.

I had the feet part of them being zero, when they should have been
greater. It was stupid testing, it worked right at 51 mHz, where they
were zero. I didn't look at the 14.1 mHz numbers closely enough.

Here is the correct numbers:

for frequency 14.100 mHz.
total length 33 feet 1 inches or 10.106 meters.
shorted length length 32 feet 11 inches or 8.514 meters.
difference length length 2 feet 7 inches or 0.796 meters.
stub length length 3 feet 5 inches or 1.057 meters.

Just another proof that programmers should NOT do quality assurance on their
own work.

73,

Geoff.
