antenna should be 34.5 feet"

Since day one, the bands have been described by their wavelength in
meters, hence "40 meters".
"7.125 kHz" is clearly a typo error. It should say "7.125 MHz".
For some years now, ARRL publications have gone metric. Antenna lengths
given as "34.5 feet" would have "10.5m" in parentheses immediatelly after
it.
