3/8 Wave

Hello friends
Let's try this again. My search for info about this is getting me no where and I posted here in QSO and it disappeared.
Please.....what would be the length of a dipole at 1.8mhz for 3./8 wave?
Google is useless and I am having trouble climbing steps to get to my antenna books in the shack.

Thanks
God bless

Half-wave dipole by 468/f Mc = 260 feet.  3/8 wavelength is 3/4 of 1/2 wave length, so should be 195 feet.  Unless I have forgotten something, which happens now and them these days.

THANK YOU
That seems to a number floating in the clouds I remember from about 12 yrs ago.
Good buddy Steve K4HX recommended a 3/8 wave to minimize some affects of using a dipole many ham bands. So I plugged in 1.8 mhz as my lowest freq that I would use on this dipole, which is fed by OWL.
That 3/8 length may make it a little easier for a good tuner to navigate through the QSY's.
Thanks very much for your reply
