Length of 1/2 wavelength antenna:
$$ Length \text{ (in feet)} = \frac{468}{Frequency \text{ (in MHz)}} $$
$$ Length \text{ (in feet)} = \frac{234}{Frequency \text{ (in MHz)}} $$
$$ Length \text{ (in inches)} = Length \text{ (in feet)} \times 12 $$
Ohm's law:
$$ E = I \times R $$ $$ I = \frac{E}{R} $$ $$ R = \frac{E}{I} $$
$$ E = I \times R $$
$$ I = \frac{E}{R} $$
$$ R = \frac{E}{I} $$
Power formulas:
$$ P = E \times I $$ $$ I = \frac{P}{E} $$
$$ P = E \times I $$
$$ I = \frac{P}{E} $$
