Ferrite Cores for Antennas
Hi Manuel: Watched your youtube video on toroids for antennas and a weird property of ferrites popped back into my memory. The permittivity and permeability of ferrites causes the wavelength of electromagnetic waves in the material to significantly lengthen due to a decrease of the speed of these waves. I believe this was first noticed in a cyclotron RF magnetic that was being constructed of ferrite material. I have not given much thought if this effect would be seen in toroids of the size and at the frequencies used in amateur equipment. Thought you might be interested though.

Thanks !
