[TowerTalk] Force 12 loading coils

[Roger D Johnson]

I measured my XM-240 coils with a TS-617 Q meter and Q of about 160. It's quite 
difficult to get a decent
connection from the Q meter to the coil. Any R in the connections is seen as 
lower Q.

http://www.qsl.net/ve6wz/CC_coil.html The Cushcraft XM240 12 ga magnet wire 
coils wound on solid fiberglass only have a Q of 81..which is piss poor. 10 ga 
would be slightly better. Jim VE7RF
