?I do beliee that there can? be metal spirals in the metal films (not an expert on that) but we aren't talking UHF here.....so even so the inductance may not be huge.....? Maybe just build all of it just a bit (2-3 mm) above the board so you can clip it
off and change it easily if you need to later.? ??
Measure the SWR "into" the device and if it isn't horrible....thenyou would probaby be good to go!

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.
