Re: My first frame aerial
Always interesting to see what works for those who've gone before me - I can understand spacing to reduce self-capacity, but equally it occurs to me that a bit of extra self-capacity could be offset by reducing the number of turns on the coil.
My thinking being that self-capacity will be less-lossy than the resistance of the windings (unless you're using Litz?) so reducing the number of turns by a couple to offset the increase in self-capacity might actually improve the "Q" of the result?
[Or have I perhaps opened the Shiraz too early and am using voodoo delusional physics?]
