[Elecraft] more learning and fun

Bruce,
        I am not having much luck with the paper clip idea.  In my
first attempt I ended up stripping the enamel off the wire at wrap
#10.  I changed my technique and tried again.  This time I broke the
wire at wrap #11.  I could probably develop a technique that would
work but I don't know how much enameled wire I have to waste so I am
going back to the old-fashioned way. I guess I am just an
old-fashioned type of guy. 73
