Here in Arizona, we are in our monsoon season, lots of thunder, lightning and rain. I have built two inductors to put across the base of my homebrew phased 80m verticals feed point. I have a small 4" X 4" weatherproof box at the base with a K9YC CMC enclosed and wondering if the inductors are adequate. They are 3 1/2" long, 3/4" diameter, 20ga enamel copper wire, with an estimated 93 turns. I have used several inductor calculators, they say between 32 and 34 uH.
Is these adequate for use as a static discharge coil that will not affect the vertical antenna loading or performance? Thanks for your input. Ray, N6VR/W7YA _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
