RE: Quarter Wavelength Frequency

Garry. R : A number of reactant effects change the velocity. The distributed
capacitance has the greatest effect, but not the only effect. 12% lower
velocity is quite common around a wire.

Hi Paul,

There is one other variable that I would find interesting.  Does the
velocity factor depend on the number of turns for a given H/D ratio?  Maybe
your data says no but I'm not sure.
