_________________________________________________________ A 160 meter mobile antenna is going to have a very narrow bandwidth so it may not be effective for BCB unless you are able to tune it somehow

Perhaps that is optimistic. I'm going from memory of several years ago. It depends greatly on the Q you achieve with the loading coil. The point is, don't expect much in the way of bandwidth. -- Bill

The traditional test for lossy plastic is to put a section of about six inches in the microwave for 20 seconds or so and see if it gets hot under full power. To protect the magnetron, also put a smal

I haven't actually tried heat shrink as a means of preventing rain from detuning, but I suspect it might not work as well as one might think. Since the heat shrink would be right next to the coil tur

_________________________________________________________ Quite correct. My approach is that any material that passes the microwave oven test should be excellent at HF. -- Bill, W7TI

_________________________________________________________ I think bandwidth *is* a good indicator of mobile antenna efficiency, provided you're comparing the same configuration and changing only the

_________________________________________________________ Really? You're saying there is a material which passes the "microwave oven" test but is *not* suitable for HF coil forms? What would that mat

_________________________________________________________ I presume you're talking about a condition where there is so much shunting capacitance that the self-resonant frequency is approaching the ac
