What you have left after the stripping process is just a wire with a
thick insulating jacket... The fact that it was part of a coaxial cable before the stripping has no more bearing on the answer than the fact that the copper was previously greenish ore nodules buried in the ground and the jacket was made from nasty smelling crude oil... So, forget all about 'coax', it has nothing to do with the question... If your new wire had a jacket of the usual thickness then the loss of velocity factor would be on the order of 3% compared to the usual 983/F or 300/F... Given that it is a thick jacket I would guess the VF to be down by 5%... So take what ever formula you are working with to determine antenna length and reduce that length by 5% for cutting your wire to resonance... denny / k8do |
