Hi All,

Thanks to all for additional comments on the previous thread 'LF Loading
Coils'.

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.
