Tune the Antennae

To both antennae, we tried measuring for the capacitance. Since we don't have an inductance meter, we tried to get a value on an oscilloscope (ms unit) by trying different resistors, and plugging it in to the formula. Also, there are some web sites that allow you to plug in the number of coils, the length and width of the antenna to get this value. We're going to try several capacitors and experimentally short out the coils if necessary to get a consistent reading.

The values are pretty small, so we'll try several 1pF capacitors and add them to this breadboard until we get the results we want.
