No, but it's easy to figure out: if 1/4 wavelength in typical coax is ~13", then 1/12 wavelength would be 4 1/3". At that length the connectors begin to be problematic, as their lengths become a significant portion of the line. Using N connectors should simplify things a bit, as most of the N connector is air dielectric, the rest teflon. Bob NO6B
