350 feet is about 5 quarter wavelengths at 3.8 MHz. Quarter wavelength is
about 65 feet or so. If that thing is really 350 feet long you should see
resonance at about 700 kHz, in addition to every odd multiple of a quarter
wavelength. Was there a typo or is this really an inverted L that is 350 feet
long?
