Normally the circumference (length of the loop) is 1 wavelength, but 1.5 wavelength and 2 wavelength versions exist (and work). Bending diameter As it's impossible to bend the corner abruptly at 90 degrees, this value is needed for the calculations. It's measure from the bending center to the center of the tube. Conductor diameter External diameter of the tube or coax cable. Diameter/height ratio Most frequently this ratio is 0.44, but slightly lower values (0.3 to 0.4) give better horizon coverage. Compensated wavelength ‘Wavelength, compensated according to the conductor diameter. Bending correction Correction value needed according to the bending diameter. Compensated total length Total length of the loop, compensated for the bending effect, and the fact that the loop must be slightly larger (or smaller) Compensated vertical conductor Length of the vertical conductor (without the 'bends').
