Ron;
 In radio school they taught us to use a constant of '468' when determing the 
length of a long wire antenna radiating leg.  The only answer I ever got for 
where this came from was to be told this is the log of electro magnetic 
energy speed in a vacuum, i.e. 'space'.  Still don't know where it came from 
or what it really means :-(
