Very good Jeff! See Google/Wikipedia. Wiki says "on the order of 1
pf/inch." (You must be as old as I am . . .)

Hi Fred,
Generally, a gimmick cap is two wires twisted together. Your mileage
will certainly vary, but I seem to recall a rule of thumb suggesting 1

Mike, 160m antennas my favorite subject. I sure wish it would either
get cold or dry out here... Winters here in Kentucky are so wet and I
