Jimmie, I like the idea of drilling some holes to tweak the
capacitance. Good idea for a set-and-forget.... nice. I've also used PC board caps. I don't know what the Q of those is like; I guess it depends heavily on the dielectric... I'm sure the duroid microwave board is much better than regular G10 or whatever. Never really used them with power though. There was a good tip in QST last? month about using big teflon heat shrink tubing to make caps that were inherent parts of vertical antennas, but I checked some prices of teflon heat shrink in large sizes and it's not cheap. 73, Dan |
