Build Your Own Air Variable Capacitors!

I've considered doing this, but keep finding things to do that have bigger parts on them, like LOOONG antennas. ;)

I've considered using those round metal disc that are used to hold down felt paper before the shingles go on the roof for the round parts, and inexpensive metal flashing for the square parts. All thread rod, nuts, and cheap Plexiglas are all available at The Home Depot. It looks like a great indoor project when the weather turns cold.

The link is in my bookmarks waiting for that cold shut-in day.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
