Some progress is slowly being made at W8BYA to become QRV on 630m. After
some modeling of a short (~350') dipole suspended off one of the towers
the next phase was to wind the center loading coils. Java-the-Mutt let
me borrow his friend porky to help in the winding process. Each inductor
should be around 349 uH with a Q of 300-400, made of #14 wire which will
be tested later tonight on a VNA.
A used box and aluminum rod from a Universal tower section made a
perfect wire dispensing apparatus. Below is a snap-shot. 73

Light travels faster than sound....
This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
