1/2 of a wavelength inside of 72 ohm RG-59 TV coax

In http://www.scannerway.8m.com/cgi-bin.../antennas.html it says
(eg. 2953/144Mhz = 20.5 inches). This is 1/4th of a wavelength...
(eg. 8,859/144Mhz = 61.5 inches) This is 1/2 of a wavelength inside of 72 ohm RG-59 TV coax.
I don't get it, doesn't he mean 3/4? And isn't the wavelength the same
within or without? I suppose aside from this, the instructions are good, no?
