From G3PLX: Gary: You say you don't have a Q meter, but it's very easy to improvise one, if you have a means of generating RF at 136kHz and a means of measuring RF voltage. Set up your LF transmitter
To All , Lacking a "Q"meter I use the following procedure : Connect the coil in series with a variable capacitor to a noise bridge with the RX output of the bridge to a receiver ( small bandwith of a
Dear Gary, LF Group, The technique I use is like this - Select a low-loss capacitor (polystyrene, silver-mica, polypropylene, air variable, etc) that will resonate the coil near the frequency of inte
Thanks to you all at LF & LW, You have presented some excellent ideas for me to put into practice. I do not require absolute acuracy just a reasonable calculation to give me a ball park figure with m
