[Amps] parasitic LC>load?

[StephenTetorka at cs.com]

Say his single loop is about 2 inches in diameter.
Inductance is around 0.1 microhenries.
At 50 MHz XL is 30 ohms; at 150 MHz its 95 ohms.
Using 0.010 inch diameter wire having a Resistivity of 200, the wire resistance is 2 ohms per foot.
Say 1 foot was used for his coil.
Q is 15 @ 50 MHz and 48 @ 150 MHz.

Resonance for 50 MHz needs about 95 Pf and about 10 Pf for 150 MHz.

Notes:
Wire diameter of 0.010 inches is 30 AWG which is rather small.
Wire Resistivity for 'resistance wire' ranges from 30 to 875 Ohms/Circular-Mil-Foot...Copper is 13.71
