I'm new at building antenna's, so I decided to try and build a j pole for 145.49 a repeater I like to stay on. There's plenty of instruction on the internet to follow but I'm running into a problem. The measurements are in meters, so I convert that into inches( using an online converter), example 1.47 M = 57.87". How do I convert the .87 to a measurement I can read on a tape measure? I've looked on the internet for converts that will give me fractions (1/8,1/4,3/8,1/2..and so on) but can't find any. I don't know if the cuts in the cooper pipe have to be that accurate anyway, but I'd like to get it close as possible to the instructions. Any internet link or formula would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys
