[Antennas] Thin wire appear thicker.

[G B]

Chris,

Visit LB Cebik's site (W4RNL) and look under multi-wire quads.  He discusses
the practicality
of making multiple loops of wire spaced 1 to 2" apart.
I have done this on my 80 meter delta loop to make it's 2:1 swr bandwidth
350Khz.

Hi all,

I have quite a bit of relatively thin copper wire recovered from some
old transformers that i would like to use to construct an antenna.

I would like to construct a moxon, and was thinking with this grade of
wire (perhaps about 0.1mm diameter, maybe a bit over) the usable
bandwidth of the antenna will be quite narrow.

I'm thinking of making a few loops with this wire to make it appear
thicker than it is, and was wondering if this would be effective (ie
using the skin-effect)?

I'm thinking of either putting together a moxon or a cubical-quad, i
just need to "thicken up" some of this copper wire i have.

Would appreciate thoughts/advice from the group.




Cheers & 73s,

Chris VK2FNET.
