Wire Length
When using a continuous piece of wire, I calculate the full wave length for the uplink frequency, the full wave length for the downlink frequency, then add 10 inches (5 inches for each leg of the "X" and another 1/4 inch for the overlap of the solder joint.
As for the performance of this antenna, read this thread. One of our members put it to the test in an RF chamber at Quantico (Pages 2 and 3 of this thread). Plus the feedback from the Soldiers who made them and used them.
