[Boatanchors] Winding coils

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

But with a human a right handed wave Vs a left handed wave creates a 
different airflow pattern which in turn affects the atmospheric interaction 
in the immediate vicinity. Would the direction the current travels, taking 
into consideration the strength of the Earth's polar magnetic fields and the 
solar particle emissions effect on our Magnetosphere, not determine the 
fringe fuzz layer of the MUF? Using the rotational velocity at the equator 
of about 1000 mph and factoring in those holes in the polar Ozone layer 
large enough to drop a Huge Hipposaur through, the polarity of any given one 
mile square area of either solid or liquid could experience the opposite 
polarity, that is, between the Coronal layer in the Sun's atmosphere to the 
dominant charge in the Earth's Ionosphere. So how do we know the proper 
polarity?

Then again, being an election year, maybe nobody cares about the best way to 
wind the garden hose!

My oldest grandson may never let me forget how his mean grandfather made him 
wind the coil for the medium wave cat whisker crystal set we built when he 
was nine. I cheated! I used a small amplified speaker instead of a pair of 
2000 ohm headphones! The first station we tuned in had an announcer speaking 
in French! My first thought was that somehow I had goofed and Brandon had 
wound the coil for short-wave! Then I happened to eemember that Sarnia, 
Ontario, Canada is only sixty miles due east and they still speak French 
there. So we had a Canadian MW station, not France!

Besides never letting me forget how I made him sit there and wind that coil 
on the PVC coil form, that little junkbox radio is what inspired his 
interest in electronics. After all, when one thinks about it, looking at a 
4X4 piece of White Pine with a few parts glued or screwed onto it, no 
battery, no tuning knob, no volume control, just a little piece of some 
strange rock Gramps got out of a drawer with a tiny wire hanging down off a 
swing arm to touch the rock with to find something he called the "sweet 
spot" ... I guess to a nine year old hearing a radio station would be 
something either magical or just plain wierd!
