I was given a new uncut Laird B1323 gain type antenna. What is the length for 155 mHz?

But don't cut it to 43 and 1/2 to start with. Cut it longer, and
then trim it slowly in small increments, using a wattmeter or
SWR meter to find the correct length.

Though I love checking duplexers with it just to make land mobile guys cringe.
