Re: [amsat-bb] 2.4GHz helix (newbie)

["John Stephensen, KD6OZH" <kd6ozh@xxxxxxx>]

Kraus' original research indicated that turns spacing and circumference did
not have to be changed with conductor diameters between 0.005 and 0.05
wavelengths. If both materials are in this range the dimension should not
have to be chganged.
