234 / frequency in MHz

234/ 160.890 = 1.45 Ft

Folks, I'm old, I'm tired, and I'm lazy. I'm also forgetful.

Would someone kindly provide the formula for deterring the length of a
full-wave antenna for a given frequency ( a full-wave whip comes to mind)?
Then, I can do the math. Better yet, I'll give you the frequency and
_you_
can do the math. It's 160.890 mHz.

I will never ask this question again. Sorry. Thanks, etc.

Best,

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.
