[aprssig] 2M 1/4 Wave antenna

[Andrew Rich]

Searched for ages on google, looking for a 1/4 wave vhf calculation for
145.825 MHz

I remember that the 45 degree radials had to be a ratio longer or shorter
than the vertical element.

Assuming speed of light at 300

lambda = 300 / freq
lambda = 300 / 145.825 MHz
lambda = 2.05 M
1/4 lambda = 2.05 M / 4
1/4 Wave antenna = 0.5143 M
1/4 Wave antenna = 51.43 cm

Cheers
