[600MRG] s/c inductor tuning loops

[Brian, WA1ZMS]

I read the write up. Very interesting. That's a much great change in Q than I would have expected.  And as for the variometer case....it would help define an optimum range over which you'd want to bound the tuning range before the Q starts to suffer.

This also says the "dead end effect" of turns on a coil might have been misrepresented from tales of operators from the 1920's. hi...hi...

The idea absolutely works but it’s a disaster for the coil Q.  To illustrate the problem I ran a quick experiment to illustrate the problem.  I’ve written a short note on the work which is posted at: www.antennasbyn6lf.com   In due course I’ll expanded this to give a detailed explanation of the phenomena and show a similar but not nearly as serious effect in variometers but this will have to do for right now.
