My 75m Texas Bugcatcher coil is self resonant at 8.2 MHz which by definition makes it 90 degrees long. 90 degrees at 8.2 MHz in free space is 30 feet. The coil is actually 6.5 inches long, i.e. 0.542 feet. 0.542/30 = 0.018 which is the VF of the Texas Bugcatcher coil at its self-resonant frequency. The Texas Bugcatcher coil is 4 tpi. The coil with the VF = 0.04 is 10 tpi. It all makes sense. Epicycles made a lot of sense, too. So, about that coil. I'm good in the call book. ac6xg |
