Mark,
If you follow my early post close enough, you may find that (0.01 to 1) to
(0.001 to 1) dia to length ratio is the range I would use comfortably. Not
only that too small dia. is bad for band selectivity, it is far too fragile
in this harsh environment. If copper tape is used, width to length will be
take into the ratio, instead of copper thickness.
Let me know if that address your concern?
