Formulas
There are formulas that you can use to decide both the length of the pieces and the spacing
between them. The dimensions of the elements is frequency-dependent. Here are the general
rules for length:

Reflector length = 0.495 x wavelength

Dipole radiator = 0.473 x wavelength

Director D1 = 0.440 x wavelength

Director D2 = 0.435 x wavelength

Director D3 = 0.430 x wavelength

The wavelength is calculated using this formula: Wavelength (in metres) = 300 / frequency
(MHz).

c=fy c = speed of light = 300,000,000 metres per second

 f = frequency in Hertz (cycles per second)
y = wavelength in metres
f=c/y
y=c/f
