Please help me out with the math. What is the length of a 5/8s wavelength

2
meter antenna? I've got something that might be able to be cut to the

freq.


Others have given you the length. They failed to mention that the impedance
is not 50 ohms and you must match that to the coax/rig. You will have to
research that for yourself, but usually a coil is used in series with the
antenna at the base of it.
