enough inductance, it is probably a sign that something else is wrong. For example, I talked to a guy over the air who was irate because he had to go back to Force 12 to get an inductor with more turns. It turns out, though, that he had replaced the Alumoweld wires of the linear loading with steel strand aircraft cable! (and had neglected to tell Force 12 about it.) He was really happy with the unexpectedly large VSWR bandwidth he was getting from the antenna, though! I told him he had made a big mistake. The resistance of aircraft cable can be surprisingly high. 73 to all. Dick, K5RR -------------------------------------------- Force12Talk mailing list provided as a service by Force 12 Antennas, Inc.
