One problem here. 468/f does not work with insulated wire. You have to consider the velocity factor of the jacket. Otherwise, you will be chopping off pieces of the insulated wire to get to the desir

I picked up an enormous amount of #12 multi-stranded wire for next to nothing, but it was insulated. When making my quad loops for my 80m meter array I was surprised to find that they were all cut to

I think there was an NCJ article several years ago about using insulated wire. To my memory it said to shorten the length by 5%. Did I hallucinate this or does anyone else remember such an article in

Plus since the wire is insulated you have less of a problem with rain static, thanks to that PVC coating. TIC K4OJ

Yes and no; but mostly no. Coaxial cable has a velocity factor significantly less than one, and equal to one divided by the square root of the dielectric constant of the insulating material that fill

Hi, I very much liked W1HIS's detailed explanation as of what causes the velocity factor. However I would not say it does not matter much. As others have said, the rough value for the velocity factor
