[Lowfer] Coil question???

[Peter Barick]

Way to go, Mitch,

Hmm, 11 "pipes" to weave around and holding it all together. Nice. I
calc about 335 feet of wire was used.

Mind telling how you held the wire to weave that coil? Was the coil
turned about or did you, the winder, turn about the coil, feeding the
wire?

Was stranded wire used? Were the turns pulled tight or allowed some
slack around the tubes?

I wound that same coil last week - following ideas from Dex's
pictures.
With 18 inch diameter, I used #14 plastic covered household wiring. I
Had 11 vertical 3/4" PVC pipes and did a basket weave.
Coil was 70 turns - height was 7 inches. Inductance measured on
Boonton
