Ah -
I'd taken the factor of 30 outside the square root then. Careless !!

Hi Walter
The formula is derived from the general one that is: E =
SQR(30*P*G)/D. Being the gain G of an half-wave dipole equal to 1.64,
30*1.64 = 49.2, rounded to integer and written out of the square root
it
becomes 7. E is the field strength in V/mt, provided that P is in
Watts and
D in meter; in fact the field strength is independent from frequency.
