[Elecraft] OT: math question

[David A.Belsley]

Well, Bill, my first answer of zero feet width is, in fact, a correct 
answer, albeit rather degenerate.  It was an answer that came 
immediately to mind.  However, there is a nondegenerate answer, which 
is

approximately 12.3119 feet.

best wishes,
