[Boatanchors] 20s or 30s type transmitter

[Howie WA3MCK]

Hi Bill,

What method will you use for winding,  bending, or rolling a tank coil
utilizing 1/4" copper tubing?

My Elmer, Jerry W3YVZ (SK) described a method where he filled the section
of tubing he was bending with sand. I forget the specific details.

Looking forward to hearing about your 20's / 30's transmitter project.

Tnx de Howie WA3MCK
