[TowerTalk] mid-point loaded beam elements

[ve6wz]

This link shows some photos of the original CC 40m coil and the higher Q air
core design: http://www.qsl.net/ve6wz/CC_coil.html  Also included are some
screen shots of the inductor calculation program from Brian K6STI.  Unlike a
few other simpler inductor calculators, this program includes dielectric
constant and dielectric dissipation factor of the form material to estimate
the distributed capacitance and dielectric loss of the coil.
Also see Tom W8JI's page here for some good data on loading inductors:

I still want to buy an HP-4342 Q meter, but somebody keeps out-bidding me on
e-bay : ((
