The ratio of longitudinal to transverse structure functions, {sigma}{sub L}/{sigma}{sub T}, has been extracted from recent beam-recoil transferred polarization data for the p({rvec e},e'K{sup +}) {rvec {Lambda}} reaction. Results have been obtained for W = 1.72, 1.84, and 1.98 GeV at an average Q{sup 2} of 0.77, 0.69, and 0.61 GeV{sup 2}, respectively. Our results indicate a ratio that is systematically slightly smaller than previously published results using a Rosenbluth separation.
