Water pipe is very impure copper..it does not need to be 99% or even near, just a copper colour will do to sell it.. Copper is copper..it costs x? per ton.. so if it¡¯s cheap there is a

How much worse is water pipe? It¡¯s cheap because it¡¯s used in large quantities. In fact, 15 mm is cheaper than smaller water pipe because 15 mm is more commonly used. 2¡± diameter helix is going

Hi Ed Disagree on a few points there. But best tubing I have found is air con tubing or if you can get 2 inch heliax coax..but if air con Not china made! Ali at best has twice R of copper. More

I lived in Arizona before moving to Oregon and have had 3 modules fail in about 15 years, probably from heat. Andy has been kind enough to replace them when I asked about the failure. I cover the

Hi ¡°Spending a lot of money on large copper pipes for the TX loop results in high Q, which causes very narrow bandwidth, and limited power handling. Much better to make the loop larger and just

Which group is discussing Q meters? I assume you are talking about transmitting loops. Litz wire in general, doesn't do much for frequencies above 1 MHz or so. The only ham band where it could do
