A dipole should normally be half of this lenght: 1,771/2 = 0,886 m, that
would be 2.91 feet. Each leg of the dipole should be 44.3 cm or 1.45 feet.

I am not sure I remember the factor between metres and feet correctly,
but the picture should be clear to all.


HA HA! Didn't take me long to show off my 'tardism... "," should be
replaced by "."
