Topband: sorry no coil program

[Telegrapher9@aol.com]

Gents,

Sorry, but the K6STI coil program is nowhere to be found. I last downloaded 
it two months ago. I also have not been able to find a valid email address 
for Brian Beezley, K6STI. 

Here is a link to another coil program. It appears to be similar to the K6STI 
program and a free demo is available for downloading.

I have ordered the full version of this program and will let you know how 
well it works. More on my coil: There is no doubt that an air-core coil will 
beat a coil wound on a PVC form. For my vertical though I needed a physically 
small coil and went with close spacing using #14 AWG on 2.3 inch O.D. PVC 
pipe. The calculated Q of 340 is good enough for now as I expect GND losses 
to dominate. I will know this afternoon when I finally fire up the new top 
loaded vertical and take measurements on the MFJ-259B. I still have to finish 
laying radials on the lawn and build the base tuning coil. It will be ready 
before 2200 GMT today so that you can all hear my BIG qrp signal.
