Default Through-glass antenna power limits



Lots of kinds of "glass" out there.

fused silica is pretty low loss
borosilicate glass (e.g. Pyrex, Kimax, etc.) is medium
windowglass (soda lime) is all over the place.- Hide quoted text -

Exactly... If I were serious about using my capacitor design for the
higher bands I would either redesign the circuit to increase the plate
area or go to borosilicate glass...
My 80 - 160 remote tuners are working like gangbusters, take all the
power I can make, and cost roughly a hundred bucks a pop to build... I
don't operate the other bands much and can make do with simple
dipoles.... Being that I have ADD (antenna deficit disorder) I am
busily working on other ideas now...
