[Antennas] Velocity factor for wire?

[Robert Lay]

Dear Chris,

You already have all of the information that you need to calculate the Vf
exactly. In fact, your calcualtions will be far better than anyone else's
guess. Just remember that the theoretical speed of light is around 300000000
m/sec. Measure the length of the wire; calculate the theretical resonant
frequency; measure the actual frequency of  resonance, and voila', you have
the Vf from the formula:

Vf = F(resonance, thoretical) / F(resonance, actual)
