[TCML] Confusing Between 1/4 and 1/2 Wave Coil



Hi, I've had a bit of free time recently and i decided to go digging for information on bipolar coils and the difference between 1/4 and 1/2 wave coils. And I read this http://www.pupman.com/listarchives/2004/January/threads.html#00804 however this got me quite confused on the subject. When you calculate a "normal" coil with kHz=1/(2*?*L*C) is this half or quarter wave? It's half isn't it? And if you have a bipolar coil that is 1000 turns of 26 gauge magnet wire (55.25 turns per inch) and the form is 2.375" by 18.125" (approx.) what is the frequency? Because I've been getting all sorts of answers some say multiple the frequency by 2, another said 1.38-1.4, and a really odd answer I found of 2.6 somewhere.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
