[TowerTalk] Matching capacitors

[Scott Bullock]

Hello TT'ers,

 

Has anyone ever experimented with using Double sided G10 Copper clad board to make capacitors for matching antennas? I been experimenting with this, and just curious if anyone knows what the RF breakdown voltage of this type of board is. The thickness is approximately 1/16". 

Seems to be easy to make different sized capacitors with it just by cutting the board larger or smaller. I'm going to mount them with porcelain standoffs inside an aluminum box to the side of the tower.

Thanks in advance,

Scott
