[Boatanchors] Winding coils

[Carl]

Being a magazine article I wouldnt have expected it to be on a web page.

Anyway, its fairly interesting but I wouldnt use nylon at RF except for low 
power maybe.

Id use polystyrene rods.

Another idea is to use a metal pipe wrapped in wax paper, install the 
notched polystyrene rods as in the article and apply an AC voltage thru a 
Variac to the wire ends. Use just enough voltage to set the wire in the 
softened rods and secure with polystyrene glue. PVC pipe MAY be sufficient, 
experiment.

Sort of like building a hot knife to cut foam concept.
