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

[Cole Awesome-Jordan <jordancole@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
