Hi All,
Today a friend of mine bought me a 'set' of 4 "regular power" Hustler coils
and the MO-1 fold-over mast. The entire kit and caboodle cost $20.00 at a
Ham auction. Everything is in VERY good condition. The only problem is,
the coils were in a box and all 4 "stingers" were removed from them and tied
in a bundle. I would "assume" that the longest stingers go with the lowest
frequency coils, etc. But you know what they say about "assume".
Here are the 4 loading coils I have, and which, incidentally I was going to
buy "new" next week (all except the 10M one). So, I feel pretty lucky!
Especially since I was going to buy the regular power ones anyway and NOT
the "Super" coils, which I've read are actually more lossy (lower "Q") than
the regular ones.
RM-80 (will it tune 75 also?).
RM-40
RM-20
RM-10 (this one has the number rubbed off, but being so small I suspect it's
the RM-10.
Anybody here have any of these coils and can tell me about what "stinger
length" they used to get them to resonate? Yes, I'm borrowing a MFJ antenna
analyzer next week, but it would be simpler if I didn't have to pick and
choose between the various stingers. . .
