Actually the length will be between 66% and 80% of ~9 feet depending on the dielectric constant of the material that comprises the coaxial cable's center. Using RG11 polyethelene dielectric will yield about 6 feet. Also considering that if you want vertical polarization the feedline must come away from the feedpoint orthogonally the run of any length of matching stub would be immaterial. james |
