Lee,

If you cut the length of coax into, say, 7 equal lengths and connected
them in parallel you will have a capacitor of the same value but with
a loss resistance only 1/7th of the single length.

RG8 / UR213 would be more convenient i should think Reg if i were running a
bit more QRO......

More compact too. 6 fit very nicely round 1. Bundle them up in a
plastic bag to keep off the rain.

I`ll try that Reg..... i have an old QRP atu with air spaced variables
around 350pf with slow motion drive i could use on a more ambitious project
a little later....good for 100watts or so SSB...Yes?

Lee...G6ZSG.......
