"Hi Ed,

Could you give a quick qualitative definition of velocity factor.  Im
thinking a factor of 2.0 does not mean 2x the speed of light.  Yet the
formula below suggest just that.  How does one get faster than "c".
Maybe
you don't have 1/4 wave or...  could the velocity factor be comparing
the
uncoiled propagation time (with velocity of c) to the coiled propagation
time (expected to be smaller)??

	I haven't thought about "velocity factor" in this sense and haven't
figured out what to think yet.
