LENGTH IN METERS = 75 / MEGAHERTZ

For example, if I'm listening to VHF civil aircraft frequencies, roughly
118MHz to 136MHz, I'll cut the wires for roughly 120MHz with the formula:

75/120 = 0.625 meters

Or, to put that in American, L in feet = 468/MHz.

468/120 = 3.9 feet. This is, of course, the length of the entire dipole.
For each leg, you'd use 234/120 = 1.95 feet, or simply divide the 3.9 by 2.

To convert the tenths of feet into inches, multiply by 12. .9 X 12 = 10.8
inches.
