Hi All
This might seem like a silly question, but is it possible to make a 150pf
capacitor out of RG-58? Thanks and I need one for an EFHW I am building.

Possible? Yes. Advisable? Not so much. A capacitor made that way
will be fairly low Q (ie lossy). Also, its effective capacitance
will vary with frequency in such a way as to reduce the bandwidth
of the match. I'd rather use a doorknob capacitor.
