My imagination is running in overdrive right now.
I have a hunk of Litz wire which contains 7 individual twists of 96
pieces each of .010" diameter copper insulated wire which in this case
works out to .0314 circular mils times 672 strands, all in parallel...
This comes out to be the equivalent of a single copper conductor of
almost 7" diameter...
Could this be??
Litz wire operating at 472khz calls for individual strands of #43 copper
insulated..
This piece at 10 thousandths single strand is more suited for 10 khz. or
so...
Do I dare a try of 500' of this stuff in a transmit loop??
When should I wake up?? The bandwidth is about 1.6 khz. and said to be
98% eff. at this length...
Gonna have to sharpen the slip stick...
This all came about as I was thinking of the inefficient vertical with
3db of it's RF going directly to ground...
