Hi;
Thinking of making inverted V antenna for 80/40/20 using resonant traps.
What are your opinions on using piece of coax as capacitor, i.e. short piece of rg58 15pF.
An example of this is the article: Build a Trap Dipole Antenna but recommends high voltage silver mica caps.
Do any members have comments about the use coaxial cable snippets for the capacitors?
Cheers from downunder.
