Hi Tom / John,
Most of the wire is in one length although it zig
zags to get it into available space ,looks like a letter N with the
vert. section connected to the top of the RH vert stroke.There is a short,
80ft peice of wire also connected here which goes off at the same angle as the
cross stroke of the N. This seems to have a greater effect in increasing
the Ant. capacitance than it does in reducing the R.res but then it is pretty
short.To answer Johns question yes, the Ant. cap is increased by the new
section. The loading coil inductance dropping from 1.8mH to 1.35mH.
