- Hung up trying to calculate the Q of a coil I want to build. It will be 2 inches in diameter with 26 turns of #10 wire. The length is 5.3 inches. 4.9 Turns per inch. HAMCALC computes this at 11uh of

- I'd say you're not going wrong. Calculating a resistance number to predict the Q can be done, but the few times I've tried it, the result hasn't matched all that well with the measured Q. Work out th

- // One needs to calculate, or preferably measure, the RF-R of the wire at 29MHz. However, with #10 Cu, it should handle c. 7Arms with ok efficiency at 29MHz. With XL=2k-ohms, this is much RF-V. chee

- Accurate calculation of RF resistance definitely is the tough part. There is more than one set of formulas from different sources for calculating this and the results don't agree. If I were forced to

- You are nearly right, Q is the reactance divided by the equivalent resistance, that's the sum of ohmic losses plus the RF losses. Generally speaking anyway, what counts is often the circuit Q rather

- Amen, Phil. Better yet borrow a Q-meter. Simpler still, run full suds, shut down, and apply the thumb test. cheers - R. L. Measures, 805.386.3734, AG6K, www.vcnet.com/measures. end -- FAQ on WWW: ht
