[Antennas] 160 inv L length?

[Chris Boone]

Damn, my calculus teacher back in high school always said my algebra was off
at times (this from a teacher with a Masters degree in Mathematics who would
add 3 and 2 and get 6! ;)  Make the horiz ~84, not 74  (DOH!)

Of course, a 1/4wl in free space is 130ft for 1.8 MHz...I always go a little
long on an Inverted L...and when insulated wire is involved but anything
greater than 130 overall would work ok
