I have some RG178 B/U I'd like to try as a choke/balun for a light
weight QRP C-pole (see
http://w0vlz.blogspot.com/2010/05/c-pole-antenna-for-qrpxpeditions.html
for my heavy weight model).
I have a 2" diameter coil form. How do I calculate/test for the number
of turns required to be an effective choke at 14MHz? Right now 15 turns
of RG8X single layer wound on a 4" plastic coffee can works.
Also, anyone know the attenuation factor of RG178 B/U at HF frequencies?
73,
Niel
