NEC-LIST: Coil Q

Hello,

I've been building radio coils for the last year for nmr instruments.
I construct them for use between say 40 and 400MHz and use copper or
silver plated wire ( generally about 40 to 400nH - perhaps 1 to 10
turns on up to a 10mm air core). Q's generally range between 50 and
200 ( a particularly good one) when coils are used in conjunction with
good ATC ceramic caps. I have seen slightly higher Q's perhaps ( maybe
mid 350's) on occasion, but I would be reluctant to offer any
guarantees on those types of numbers. Testing has generally been done
on a by using the curve fit on a VNA notch measurement... perhaps not
the best way.
