lol. Care to argue that point?

Sure, I explained why the losses are less in an open air coil,y ou
chose to ignore it. Grab a book and look up Q and see what it says.
You do know how to read don't you?

Don't bother getting back to us, your arguing just argue. I don't
have anymore time for your stupidity.

I would. What happens when you bring a solid sheet of conductive
material close to the end of a coil? Eddy currents -- it has
tremendous losses, the Q drops like a rock, and it's inductance is
unpredictable. It's a royal bitch to design a shielded IF/RF coil or
transformer to be used for high frequencies, and shielding is almost
-never- used for power RF coils and transformers unless there is some
serious space between the inductor and shield, hence the popularity of
toroid cores for those applications. And since a bigger coil makes a
bigger field, you need much more 'free space' to maintain a high-Q.
Vertically mounting a big coil above the sheet metal of a vehicle
results in a very lossy coil.



4) A stainless steel antenna is less efficient than a copper antenna
of the same length.

not if its electrically shorter than the stainless one

Electrically shorter? You meant physically shorter. I can take a 18
foot antenna and make it electrically shorter than 9 feet while still
keeping it 18 feet long. dumbass


The difference between copper and stainless steel is not very
significant at 27 MHz. What -is- significant is that bare copper will
quickly form a layer of corrosion (visible or not) which will render
an excellent conductor useless for RF. So unless you are willing to
polish and degrease the antenna every day, I'll take the stainless.

I would think that 4 feet would be more than enough distance.
So you would say that a large air wound coil has more loss than a
small diameter coild wound on a solid form?

It would depend on the diameter of the coil. I remember there is an
equation somewhere to determine the loss, but it involves some heavy
calculus and it's too early in the morning for integrals.


So you would say that a large air wound coil has more loss than a
small diameter coild wound on a solid form?


No, not necessarily. If the wire diameter is the same, the smaller
coil might easily be more efficient due to lower DC resistance.
Distributed capacitance isn't much of an issue at 27 MHz unless you
have lots of close-wound turns, and even then it's not necessarily a
loss but a factor that affects the coil's reactance. Regardless, there
are very effective winding techniques to reduce that problem. There
are many low-loss coil form materials available, such as Teflon, some
of the better quality ceramics, and even grooved hardwood makes a
decent core at RF frequencies (however, PVC sucks above a couple
hundred kHz). There is also the issue of weather conditions that can
significantly affect an open coil regardless of whether or not the
wire is insulated -- rain/humidity, snow, air pollutants (ozone can
make a -=BIG=- difference!), etc. Even the speed of the vehicle can
have an effect on the properties of an open coil. For the sake of
consistency and longevity, a smaller coil that is sealed from the
elements (as a whole) is a far better choice for anyone serious about
the issue.

There are no large coil cb antennas where the coil is 4' from the vehicle
roof, they are all mounted 18" or less.

Bug Catchers aren't.. so all isn't correct.

Replacing the lower section with pvc for flexibility. Sorry this thread is
hard to follow....too much off topic content.

Thanks. I just wanted to prove to myself that I could make my own antenna
and see how well it worked. There are 2 reasons for the large coil. In
comparing a few antennas of roughly equal length, the ones with large
open
coils tend to be more broad-banded. Larger materials also have less
resistive loss and more radiating are. The lower part doesn't really have
to
be 1/2' copper pipe but it was the first thing I thought of. I'm going
with
copper wire wrapped on pvc shortly.

Chris; Nice looking antenna, large open air coils are more efficient.
Some people see a large open air coil and think its all about power
handling capability. Are you planning on replacing the coil with pvc
wrapped with wire, or the lower section? If you want to beef up the
lower secton you might take a trip to a hamfest and pick up a lower
section of a Newtronics Hustler.

Chris; yes there is, and for that I apologize.

PVC gets very brittle when exposed to sun or cold. You might need to
think about hooking some kind of line to it keep from losing the top
of the antenna in case it breaks.
