Next time try this; 1/4 wave = 2808/146.5 or 19.167235"
Saves a whole lotta work. I use that in my commercial ground plane antennas 
that I sell.  Also, in the ground plane, I allow 5% longer radials by using 
this formula; 2880/146.5  = 19.6587"
... Have a nice day    Unless you've made other plans!
