There Ain’t No Such Thing As A Free Lunch
Everything is a Tradeoff
Positive
Small
Light
Easy to Transport
Less Expensive
Spouse-Friendly (Maybe most important!)
z I.e., not as much of an eye-sore
Negative
Efficiency
Inductance L = 1/[(2πf)2C]
z Not totally accurate for calculating loading coil. But
very close.
z Tends to give a slightly greater inductance value than
necessary.
Coil Q = 2πfL/RL
