Hmm I was told by a few elmers around my club I should avoid metal anything wire/oxide/film when dealing with RF for it may become an inductor..... I have 6x 390's 1w coming I will see if 3x will fit, its R10 and may be a hard squeeze but we will see.
If the metal oxide is working for you w/o fail I may just pick up what I need. Thanks for the heads up and the offer.
