Bill,
You are right !
Changed my setup and to summarize the results:
#1. With the disk, Fres = 480 MHz
#2. With disk connected parallel to horizontal wire (see
www.pc5m.com/skineffect2.jpg ). Fres = 260 MHz
#3. With disk connected in between (no through wire at all) ( see
www.pc5m.com/skineffect1.jpg) . Fres = 260 MHz
I suppose I can only conclude that the RF current will/must go through the
disk and not follow the long path (due to alleged skineffect) around the
disk.
Again a myth busted ?
Gl, Carel.
