As a follow-up to last week's thread about predicting velocity factor in PVC 
covered wire used for antennas, I calculated that a 160M sloper cut to 1.850 
should be 253' with bare wire and, using 95% velocity factor, 240' with 
jacketed #10 wire. Final length wound up being 253'. Antennas are 90% science 
and 10% magic.
