Tom is correct here, a smaller wire has more inductance than a larger

Hi Robert,

You are late into this cycle of discussion.

The resason is that the current paths on a large conductor become
far enough away from other current paths on the surface of the same
conductor, that their magnetic flux lines begin to not totaly include
each other.

And yet this does nothing to answer the question, does it?

Speaking of antennas by the way, have a look at my 5 element log cell
20 meter beam. I have a photo of it on QRZ. http://www.qrz.com/ac7pn

As pictures go, it is a good one.
