The 3" line sections will handle more (-;
And as many BCB and other commercial stations are being dismantled it is
available at scrap prices or less.
I have several large rolls of 1 5/8" here for sale.

Subject: Re: Topband: Bad tower shunt capacitor
Wouldn't 1 5/8 hardline make a better HV RF capacitor?

Jamie,
The VSWR would change because the arc would change the impedance at the
Arc point. From perhaps several hundred or thousand ohms to
near Zero during the Arc..

Thanks Steve:
Not bad - I may try that ! :)
The question in my mind was if there was an arc outside the caps, why
would the SWR change ? Anyway, I may be missing something. I haven't been
inside the cap box at the tower for many months so I'll get into it - may
be something easy.
