| 145480 | 2003-05-18 06:47:00 | Hmmm, it's been a long time since I was at school but... How do I convert 52.375 inches, 47.875 " and 40.250 " into a measurement that I can measure with a tape measure using either metres/centimetres or good old feet/inches ? The results need to be within 1/8 inch, as it will form the basics of an amateur radio antenna being built and like most things in life, size matters :-) |

| 145483 | 2003-05-18 07:07:00 | 52.375 Inches = 133.0325 Centimeters 47.875 Inches = 121.6025 Centimeters 40.25 Inches = 102.235 Centimeters Just FYI, I guess not bothering to look for a converter may mean using it is a stretch. |

| 145487 | 2003-05-18 21:51:00 | Curly, you said good old feet and inches so here it is: 0.125" is 1/8 of an inch 12 inches = 1 foot so divide the number of inches by 12 to get feet, then the rest is inches and eighths. 1. 52.375 inches = 4 feet 4 and 3/8 inches 2. 47.875" = 3 feet 11 and 7/8 inches 3. 20.250" = 1 foot 8 and 1/4 inches see - being old is sometimes useful! regards, andy |

| 145489 | 2003-05-19 01:07:00 | Building a Yagi? :D The best I ever made were 10 element. At 26 MHz. They were large. If you have a metric tape, just multiplying the ft.decimal by 0.3048 will do it. (if you are going the other way, divide metre.decimal by 0.3048 gives ft.decimal . |
