Soda can inductor prototype!
First 15m contact! Used my 40/20 fan dipole and a homebrew tuner (thanks for the rec @va3db). Contact was with w6afa in Los Angeles.
Soda can cap tests at 16-32pF. So pleasing!
Update 3 on soda can capacitor tuner. Cap is done. I'm estimating about 10pF, might need to modify to increase the capacitance to actually use it
Further progress on the soda can capacitor project
Operation soda-can-tuner is go! @va3db
