[Lowfer] Beacon "USA" off the air due to contamination

Wed, 19 Nov 2003 22:46:43 -0500

Someone mentioned this and I cant validate it but the idea
sounds good. For a low loss Vari cap the suggestion was to make
fixed plates , These can be welded, silver soldered to a common
mount so the current and IR loss would be good. Then to vari the cap
change the dielectric by sliding glass between the plates . You would
have
a varicap by varying the dielectric. It would go from air to glass

would it work  ??  dont know never tried the idea
