More wire is a lower resonant frequency while less wire is a
higher resonant frequency. It's an inverse relationship.

Wavelength in meters = 300/Freq
1/4 wavelength = 234/Freq (this is one half of a half wave dipole)

In realty, since the speed of electrons down a wire is a percentage
of the speed of light (the velocity factor), the wire length for
any given frequency will be longer then calculated.
