Re: Topband: soldering radials (score: 1): Author: Jon Zaimes AA1K <jz73@verizon.net>; Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2011 04:42:01 -0400; Jorge, Perhaps your friend's concern was that the solder joints would corrode with time and galvanic action. Some have suggested using silver solder to avoid this problem. I used just regular solder; /archives//html/Topband/2011-08/msg00028.html (8,413 bytes)

Re: Topband: soldering radials (score: 1): Author: Gary K9GS <garyk9gs@wi.rr.com>; Date: Thu, 18 Aug 2011 20:16:10 -0500; Hello Jorge, There is very little current flowing in each radial wire so the wire size matters very little. In your example you would be much better off with the 120 radials than 40. Keep in mind tho; /archives//html/Topband/2011-08/msg00039.html (12,001 bytes)

Re: Topband: soldering radials (score: 1): Author: "ZR" <zr@jeremy.mv.com>; Date: Thu, 18 Aug 2011 16:27:06 -0400; Since the total current is divided into the number of radials you can compute the amount in each.

Re: Topband: soldering radials (score: 1): Author: Charles Moizeau <w2sh@msn.com>; Date: Sat, 20 Aug 2011 00:09:57 -0400; Jorge, The short answer is the 120 18-gauge radials will be much more effective than the 40 radials. Consider two absurd examples: 1) all 120 radials are connected in parallel and laid in a single sh; /archives//html/Topband/2011-08/msg00043.html (10,493 bytes)
