[Elecraft] Slightly OT: non-resonant wires

[Don Wilhelm]

Lynn,

It depends on what kind of measuring sticks you have.

If you have a 100 foot tape measure, just pull out 53 feet and match the 
wire to that length - that is the way I do it.
If you only have a 50 foot tape, measure 25feet, 6 inches and double it 
back on itself.
If you have only a 25 foot tape, measure 18 inches from the end, put the 
end of the 25 foot tape at that point and measure out the remaining 25 
feet, then double it back on itself.

73,
