No, it isn't.

Class was dismissed years ago, Jimmie, and your Habit is still
looking terrible on you...quit this trans-gender nonsense, okay?

I guess all the strokes have effected your typing.

You wrote " not ', Len.

And who is "Jimmie"?

It's plain, flat out wrong, Len. You made a mistake.

One would think a self proclaimed "PROFESSIONAL IN RADIO" would catch
something that simple. But you missed it.

And you blame the messenger for pointing out *your* mistake.

too much pressure on the shift key. :-)

Looks more like a short-circuit between your head-phones ;-)

You didn't write FEET, Len. You used the symbol for INCHES.

You were wrong.

Not *wrong*,

It was wrong, Len. Just plain flat out wrong.

Maybe this explains it:

I guess he just doesn't know the difference between feet and inches.

I guess you did NOT read my admission of a typo?

Of course not, you have me "killfiled" because my comments
are just so "horrid" at not speaking the ARRL party line.

An approximation of a quarter-wave monopole in FEET
is 234/(frequency in MHz).

234 / 73 = 3.205 FEET.

Tsk, the nit-pickers just didn't do the math. A quarter
is NOT '0.205' but 0.250. Nobody checked that out. :-)

Not even N2EY, the Mother Superior of the newsgroup who
scrutinizes all of my postings with a beady eye, ready
to have a "WRONG" orgy, hopping up and down in glee at
"mistakes" and "errors" that "always" occur. :-)

Dee, since you have me "killfiled" you won't see this
post. I won't hold that against you. It's just another
"ostrich syndrome" of the pro-coders refusing to see the
reality of now. :-)
