Beverages are so close to earth the effects of earth dominate the electrical length. The earth, in effect, swamps out any small changes caused by adding the dielectric. There is no reason not to use insulated wire except for weight, and no special reason to use it. 73 Tom _______________________________________________ Topband mailing list Topband@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/topband |
