Hi all,

There is no minimum length for electromagnetical radiation. AFAIK it's
1/lightspeed but that's atomic size so the 'minimum length' is probably
1 atom or just simply the smallest piece of metal you can imagine.

The 'minimum reasonable length' is considered 'lambda/4' where:

lambda = velocity / frequency

lambda = electromagnetical wave length (not LISP)
velocity = light speed
frequency = 100MHz
