[Lowfer] Loop wires crossed

Mike,

Good! That should have reached Larry if the conditions were normal

No. You have to retune to resonance when you swap the coil for the loop. I'm 
only interested in the max current, for the loop AND the coil, which in turn 
can be used to calculate the Rac of the loop since we know the Rac for the 
coil. Rac is related to 1/I^2 if the power is constant (and it should be 
fairly constant in this case). You may already have the current for the coil 
from last night's test.

You shouldn't have given the cat a day off! <G>

Thanks, Mike!

Bill
