Re: Honeycomb coils
Have the qualitative results from some recent local
experiments with winding honeycomb coils for use in loading
of low frequency radio transmitting antennas. Bottom line is:
"THEY AIN'T WORTH THE BOTHER!!!!"
Not sure they ever really were worth the bother, but were
popular in early days of radio when everything was new and
something new was always assumed to be better. The small
increase in distributed capacitance is of no interest to
us in TC work, and they are a pain to wind.
For what it's worth,
