"Mark Keith" wrote in message m... (RHF) wrote in message . com... - Fixed Capacitor(s) for single station tuning. Speaking of fixed caps...Some of my 160m buddies and buddetts are building loops for receive purposes. Some have wondered about caps....I've never tried it, but for fixed single freq use, I don't see why a length of coax couldn't be used. IE: lets say you had a loop that needed about 75 pf to tune. RG-8 is appx 30-31?? or so pf a foot. About a 3 ft piece *should* work. Or seems to me anyway...I prefer variables, but this coax cap method might could work for someone that needs a quicky cap, and has none at hand. MK The oscillator section of a standard AMBCB variable would be right in that range.. or, for cheap, quick and (not so) dirty, there are lots of 100pF mica trimmers available.. |
