| I am trying to make a coil for a portable vertical antenna like the superantenna mp1. I will be using 1 1/4 inch pvc...and 16 awg bare copper wire..with a slider to change bands....the pvc is threaded so the spacing will be close wound.... what I am trying to find out is how many turns and how long of a pvc pipe will I need to be able to work from 80 thru 10...also how much wire if possible. I dont know how to figure out the inductance of a coil..I know there are formulas but very confusing...to much math for me. I was thinking about maybe an 18 inch piece of 1 1/4 inch pvc ... Thank for any help you might be able to give.. Roland// rleon1@att.net w5rjl |
