Jim I have a couple of nice hi power litz wire wound variometers, maybe I should try one. Except the variometer is remotely driven for adjustments the TAP method is better, one tap up or down does th
Mal, Jim, all, maybe the clue is in the filter used by Stefan. A bridged amplifier as used by Stefan is very flexible towards the load resisance, anything between 10 and 100 Ohm will probably give al
Wolf But surely it is the Loaded Q we are concerned about, what is the point of a vy high Q unloaded when put into the antenna system it drops dramatically. Maybe there is a conflict between Theory a
Certainly not. What Stefan meant was the coil's *unloaded* Q, which cannot be high enough. The *loaded* Q, in the resonant circuit, will be lower and that's what determines the antenna system's bandw
