## Are you sure about this ? I have used .25 edge wound rollers,
I am sure that flat conductors result in lower Q than round conductor.
I have done innumerable Q meter measurements to confirm this.
I didn't say that flat conductors don't work
Trevor, You do not make it clear whether you want to match the antenna with
a hairpin match or with an L match. I find with a hairpin that the
inductance does not change much from the needed but the top loading will
need adjusting. You may find it better to put the 1:1 point at something

## What are you using to measure Q ?? I did discover one anomoly with
coils
and Q. XL increases
Hi Rick, Wes,
I said it was a "killer piece of copper". I did not compare it to anything.
Mostly I like the way that edge-wound coil looks (what was on my mind when
I said "killer") The same way I like a lit up and glowing red 3-1000Z
putting out 1500 watts, or the spooky glow of 866A's and
