[HBR] Coil Forms

[Byron Tatum]

Hello-
    I was studying using the clear styrene straight-sided jars as coil 
forms. Wanted to see if anyone had entertained this idea in past?
    My thoughts were to drill a hole in the bottom center to mount coil to 
chassis, etc. I found the Parkway Plastics website and the 38 MM OD by 2.7" 
tall jar { 1-1/2 OZ. 38 MM jar} looks pretty close to the 1-1/4" OD coil 
forms specified in a lot of the HBR articles.
    I have seen a few Millen coil forms that were very similiar to these 
plastic jars.
    I believe styrene has pretty good RF properties. Anyway, the jars are 
cheap, shipping and handling isn't unless you buy a case!
                CUL, Byron.
