[Lowfer] Wiretronic is expensive on Litz...

[Mitch Powell]

Mike at al:
I purchased my litz wire from the Crawley Am. Radio Club.
It is some of the DECCA material that the Crawley club is selling
for the club. 

This is the information I had at the time.

Last contact ( last year ) was DATTER@compuserve.com

but another active contact is Dave G0MRF, at  g0mrf@aol.com

I also looked at the Crawley radio club site:
http://www.carc.org.uk/html/body_for_sale.html
and there was some information there, but I am not sure how dated.

Litz Wire:
In addition to the large loading coils ( about 900mm diam x 250mm wide with
729 strand Litz wire) we have a variety of different gauges from quite thin
up to some about 3mm diam double cotton covered with large number of
strands. Probably the most interesting to LF'ers is a quantity of 2mm and
3mm diam Litz wire with a thin outer sheath of polythene or similar (may be
PTFE ?) which will have a much higher insulation rating than the usual
cotton covered variety which will reduce turn-turn voltage breakdown for
loading coil use.
