I measured my XM-240 coils with a TS-617 Q meter and Q of about 160. It's quite difficult to get a decent connection from the Q meter to the coil. Any R in the connections is seen as lower Q.

## Check this out. http://www.qsl.net/ve6wz/coil.htm and http://www.qsl.net/ve6wz/CC_coil.html The Cushcraft XM240 12 ga magnet wire coils wound on solid fiberglass only have a Q of 81..which is piss poor. 10 ga would be slightly better.
