Hi Steve, Thanks for running these detailed "Q" tests between the 1162/46 and 660/46 Liz wire at various frequencies with the HP4342A Q meter. This kind of detailed test is something which would not

I wound a coil using 330/46 Litz to compare with the other two. 21 turns gave 273.3 uH, quite a bit higher than the other two due to the narrower width coil. Probably 1 or 2 turns should be

I should add that my 140mm ferrite rods are Chinese rods, not Russian rods, and that the results may be different using Russian rods. I don't have enough Russian rods to do the experiment

This experiment compares a ferrite sleeve coil of 1162/46 Litz with a ferrite sleeve coil of 660/46, both 21 turns with final coil diameter about 6 3/8", using 140 mm ferrite rods in the

Thanks Gary for the detailed response. When endeavoring to obtain the highest resonant signal output at a given frequency, the Q needs to be high as practicable. The audio fidelity will be somewhat

Call change is logged on my little Sangean DT160. Heard spot for San Diego Honda dealers and promo for Mark Larson Show. 0800 PDT top of hour call letter ID read very quickly then into CBS news.

Thanks for saying what I was thinking! Isn't this just a variation to the solder pot? 73, kevin kc6pob

Great post and interesting comment on the wife finding the spoon, I think some might prefer we were doing drugs and not playing radios.

Just a comment about soldering litz wire after seeing Gary's comment about a 65 watt iron..  I have a had success using a stainless steel spoon set on a burner of the stove. You will probably need

Ah ok. Iv'e been hearing 4QL from Longreach coming in at night lately. I'll listen in during the day.

Hi guys. I am mainly a lurker here but this post forces me to ask a question. If the Q of the 1162 strand Litz is bordering on too high, why not use 660? The price of 100 ft. of 660 is about the same

Hi Gary, Your new 6 inch FSL is a step towards higher gain in a relatively small package. I look forward to a YouTube review. Regarding 1162/46 Litz wire used in the 6" FSL, what is the cheapest

Nope, 7SD still going.

That is a very good idea, I will try the same with mine.

2CA 1053 kHz has been coming into Melb well too lately. I take it 540 kHz 7SD has been shut down then. Regards. Dan.

Paul, The solution is a "rubber locking tab," which is precut on one side to fit around the curved PVC fitting, and cut flat on the other side to fit up against the rubber plumbing coupler. The rubber
