I have a couple of rolls of flat ribbon cable. Spacing between each conductor is about a millimeter and the conductor itself is about 1.5mm wide. The ribbon is about 3 inches wide and there are a total of 30 conductors. Now then, let's say I pulled off a length of about 30 feet and connected the conductors alternately at each end to make it one single conductor.
Would this act like a coil or a capacitor or just what should I expect to actually happen if I used it at the base, center or end of a wire antenna. Keep in mind it is a receive only antenna I'm talking about and I was thinking of using it as part of an AMBCB and Long Wave antenna.
I do plan on NOT coiling the form. I just intend to stretch it out. I may coil it long ways around a PVC or fiberglass pole if need be but I doubt that will happen. I really would rather hang it in the air.
Thanks in advance. I am without a clue as to the actual outcome. ☺
