[Elecraft] Loading inductor Question

[Ken Alexander]

Many thanks for all the helpful responses!  I do have many toroid cores in stock already but almost all are FT-50-xx and T-50-xx.  I'll do the research and the math and give it a try when antenna building season arrives.  It's still a little too cold and wet for that at the moment.

Folks,

Given that inductors on toroid cores are used extensively in autotuners, is there any reason (assuming I choose the right size core, made of the correct material for the application and winding it with the right size wire) for not using one as a base loading inductor on a vertical antenna?  I'm talking 100 watts maximum transmitter output here.

Any down side to doing this?

Thanks and 73,
