Not an alternate definition, but we have to recognize that just any old
random length won't work.
If the wire is near 1/2 wavelength on a band, the impedance at the end
will be very high, and the tuner may not be able to match it.
In truth, we're really talking about non-resonant antennas, so numbers
like 53' keep coming up.
It was easier before 60m and 30m and 17m and 12m because all of the ham
bands were harmonically related, and the math was simpler.

I guess we need an alternate definition of "random" ;-)
