Better try it first. It models great, but in real life all the power goes into sparks between those static wicks unless your balanced feeders are ~3' or so apart. A string of solid state spark gaps!
How much is that in kHz? I have one of those nomographs the League furnished somewhere around here if you need it. It makes solving for kC to kHz and back a snap. 73 de W6OGC Jim Allen Sent from my i
The nomographs appeared in QST, May, 1968, pp 48-49. I think you could get a handy dandy one suitable for shop work for $2.95 plus 25 cents postage to ARRL, Newington CT. There were two styles. Once
