Rich -

That home-brew air-variable cap is an absolute work of art. Any estimate of 
the total fabrication time? Were the spacers for the fixed plates made from 
commercial sleeves or spacers of some sort, or did you cut each one from 
tubing?
What is the total range of capacitance adjustment?

Regards,
Scott Hanson
