Well until you have a project in mind, you don't have to know !
I do have a project in mind...T match ATU. An SPC Ultimate transmatch to be somewhat exact...
I could bring a LC 'meter' to a future club meeting so we can measure it (and maybe those coils you were going to wind ?). It doesn't have a meter, but gives the data in CW !
LOL, that's a neat idea! I do need to make a coil for it too. I was looking at roller inductors and WOW, how expensive thos things are....
I wonder if anyone else has stuff to measure as well ?? I could bring a few marked items so you gather some faith in my instrument.
I will take your word for it Curt...
