To All from PA0SE Several amateurs have found that the current at the bottom end of the loading coil is higher than at the top (aerial side) of the coil. In my station the difference is of the order
Hello Dick, as you noticed there is always a small "current loss"in the loading coil, due to capacitive coupling to the surrounding. Something in the order of 5..10 % seems normal to me. By the way,
Hello Rik and others, William tells me that the measurement of the aerial capacitance was not a very accurate one. So it is probably lower than 210 pF. The coil sits on a wooden stool of about 50 cm
