ORIGINAL MESSAGE: REPLY: Yes, it was given. In both experiments, the disk was placed with the wire in the center and then repeated with the edge of the disk connected to the wire. The capacitance was
Bill, Perhaps you could explain to us why coax cable does not allow RF energy to move from the inside surface of the shield to the outside surface if not for skin effect? You would agree that the ins
ORIGINAL MESSAGE: REPLY: Second question first: Yes, I agree. Common knowledge. First question: Because the electrons on the inside of the shield are attracted toward the center conductor, which is o
Just maybe a moot point but if I remember my transmission line math correctly, the center conductor and the shield form the boundary conditions for the wave equation so the RF energy in a coax line i
So if there is skin effect in play inside of the coax why do you think that there is not in a flat plate conducting RF current? 73 Gary k4FMX _______________________________________________ Amps mai
Agreed, Right results, wrong conclusion. The disk, whether aligned with or on the edge adds two things, capacitance and diameter to the radiator. The position makes no difference with either. IOW the
ORIGINAL MESSAGE: REPLY: I respectfully disagree. With the edge of the disk connected to the wire, NO RF has to flow THROUGH the disk to reach the far end of the antenna, thus the disk acts only as a
ORIGINAL MESSAGE: REPLY: Glad you got it working, David. I have used that RFC-3 choke in five different homebrew amps so far and I am quite impressed with it. Designing a choke that will cover all ha
ORIGINAL MESSAGE: REPLY: I never said there wasn't, in fact I agreed there is. Go back are read my previous posts in this thread. What I did say was that the presence of skin effect did not prevent R
Coaxial cable depends on an electromagnetic field whose end point are on the inside of the shield and the outside of the center conductor. For that matter, it's the same effect that keeps a parallel
I tried that choke in one of my amplifiers without testing it first with the GDO and it just turned into smoke on 10m. 73 Peter ORIGINAL MESSAGE: right at the cold end, made several differences in ci
Bill, How many times do you want me to quote you saying that "skin effect does not keep RF from flowing thru a plate"? it has been in almost every one of your posts. That is what started this whole
ORIGINAL MESSAGE: REPLY: At this point I'm not sure what you are arguing about, Gary. I said that skin effect certainly exists but it does not prevent the simultaneous flow of electrons through a pla
Where was it proved that RF was passing thru the chassis and not one of many possible openings? I asked that question days ago and no one cared to answer. Why doesnt RF pass thru the back of a solid
It is analogous to nothing! One is an antenna and the other is a chassis that we were talking about. Very different things going on there. And no, the current still doesn't flow thru the antenna dis
ORIGINAL MESSAGE: REPLY: For the third or fourth time, you are talking about RADIATED RF energy, i.e. an electromagnetic field. The discussion regarding the padder cap under the chassis and the load
OK, lets talk about a water tight chassis used for a GG amplifier. The grid of the tube is screwed to the top of the chassis. Under the chassis the driving signal is connected via a pi network to the

Where is that padder cap connected to if not through a hole in the chassis to the band switch? 73 Peter ORIGINAL MESSAGE: REPLY: For the third or fourth time, you are talking about RADIATED RF energy
