[Elecraft] Small QRP antenna

[Don Wilhelm]

Scott,

If the radiator is not a half wave long, it is not a "half wave".
Yes, a random length wire may work, but please do not call a random 
length a half wave - the length of a half wave is quite specific.
Similarly, a quarter wavelength is a specific length at a particular 
frequency.
