Thanks, Mike. I noticed Jack VE3EED made his calculations using the band center. Out of curiosity I just write a little C program that uses band edges and converts them to half wavelengths. I plotted the overlapping "red zones" and, if I didn't make a mistake, came up with slightly different safe lengths. The graph and C code are at

(I didn't include 60m, by the way.) 73, Mike ab3ap On 06/27/2012 04:10 PM, Mike WA8BXN wrote: > [...] to avoid any length that will be a half wave > or multiple of a half wave on any frequency of interest.
