Yes, it was a recent purchase from a local Ace Hardware. 72-inches across the business end. Another dipole I bought a couple of decades ago at Radio Shack is also 72 inches.
Perhaps that number,(5616 / freq in mhz = 1/2 wave length in inches),is correct. But also, I suspect that the sensitivity toward this length might not be strong. IIRC the Magnum Dynalab ST-2FM whip antenna is purported to be 1/2 wave and measures to 54 inches long. That would support above number.
Why Radio Shack has been making their dipoles to 72", I begin to wonder.
