Looks like my formatting is a bit off, so I'll try another one next time.

At first glance I thought the Min Length was based on antenna area,
then I thought that the min hull was based on passive sensor antenna
diameter. Now I am simply confused.

How is Min Length determined in the QSDS 1.5e Standard
Sensor Table?
