[ARC5] Coil calcs.

[Kenneth G. Gordon]

OK. Here is what I get:

124 turns, spaced, of #22 bare copper wire.

Wound on 1" PVC pipe form.

Frequency calculated for 1.75 Mhz.

"Q" = ~300

Coil resistance ~ 3.65 ohms

Reactance at 1.75 MHz, about 1200 ohms.

I wouldn't worry about spacing the turns if you use enameled wire, 
although that will raise the coil's self capacitance and thereby 
reduce the necessary tuning cap.

Does this help?
