Continuing on the theme of loading coils, is there a simple method of calculating the 'Q' of an LF loading coil without using a 'Q' meter (a device I have not got access to). I would like to carry out my own tests/experiments on my antenna system, it can only add to my knowledge base. 73 Gary - G4WGT.
