Topband: Submerging variable caps in oil as substituteforvacuum variables

[Terry Posey]

Dissipation factors for particular oils are found here:

I cannot comment on the accuracy of the data.

The major issue with dielectrics is dissipation factor at 2 MHz, which
affects losses and Q. Dissipation factor is not published all the time. I
can't find dissipation factor for mineral oil.
