The coils for the 20 meter filter use 3/4 inch schedule 40 PVC pipe as the coil form. The form dimensions are listed below.
The coils are wound using #14 solid conductor insulated wire.
| Coil # | Pipe Size | Pipe Length | # Turns | Winding Length |
| 1, 2, 3 | 3/4 inch | 2-1/4 inches | 14 | 1.40 inches |
The length of the actual coil winding is for reference purposes.
Prepare the case.
Prepare the coils.
Mount the connectors, coil hardware, and lugs.
Mount L2 first so you can swing it to get the internal nut in place.
Mount L1 and L3.
Prepare C2 and C4 by twisting the leads and soldering the entire length.
Attach C4 to the lug on the side of the case and form the other end lead into a terminal as a connection point for C3 and C5.
Attach C2 to the lug under L2. It is best to attach and solder C2 with the lug loose and away from the coil since the heating will melt the washer into the form loosening the coil. After soldering tighten the lug retaining nut. The other choice is to solder the capacitor to the lug before mounting. The span of this capacitor needs all the length so if pre-soldering to the lug use the minimum necessary.
Mount the shield to two sides of the cover along the center line with four 4-40 x ¼ inch brass machine screws and nuts so that it separates the input and output coils. Drill clearance holes in the base and tap holes in the shield to secure it in place when the cover is installed.
