Another NOOB

According to my ham radio manual, Dipoles are determined by the following equation: Length (in feet) = 468 / Frequency (in MHz). So, if you are talking on approximatley 27 MHz, then you would use this equation: 468/27=17.3. I would say that it is 18 feet long.

Thanks, I live in a single level bread box house. Its not very wide. I was thinking how much mast I may need and invert the "V" back down to the eves of the house. Sounds like I would need 25 to 30 foot of mast.
