Hey, y'all.. I'm hunting a 160m HDVL plug-in coil.
For the longest time, I didn't even think that any existed... until this weekend. I happened to find both, the BVL and HDVL version of the 160m plug-in coils at a local hamfest. Neither coil are in what anyone could mistake as 'decent' shape, although the BVL version is, for the most part, intact. The HDVL coil however, more resembles a plate of spaghetti, or a loosely formed slinky.
I bought it anyway, because I thought could probably rebuild the HDVL coil by taking apart a 360uuF air-variable and using the rotor plate as the spacing, while I applied some liquid glass something or another to hold it in place, again. I would like to find a good coil, though. Are there any available, out there?
Knowing my luck, finding one will probably be like mining for unobtainium. Thanks for your time. -- 73 = Best Regards, -Geoff/W5OMR
