Re: Tiny DRSST was Re: Ultra tiny coils!

So far, they are less than 1% of the 1/4 wave frequency. Like regular coils, their small size compared to the RF wavelengths renders them poor transmitters.

If say cable lengths get near 108 inches, might want to put ferrite beads on them to block the RF.

I admit I've never tried anything in the 20-30Mhz range, but I'm sure with
the right drive a 20-30Mhz coil is possible.

The issue that scares me is the detuning of the secondary with changing
conditions and accurately tracking that with such low powers and small
coils. At 27Mhz 1nS delay from feedback to driver becomes quite a problem.
Maybe a CB PLL could help ??

 Hi,

has anyone considered the possible problems of operating a coil with peak output in the CB / RC bands? Could result in some unhappy friends and neighbors. Just a thought.
