Dex, ingenious use of fittings in your now impressive and famous VLF
pvc framed loop. Many of the inherent questions have been answered in
your prior notes. My initial one being, "How'd he glue that hub??" So
now we find you didn't and it still stays together due to tight fit and
the turns acting as "banding." Unreal, because I've always glued pvc
pipe I precluded anything but that. Nice to see your application.

Looking at the Web pics I see the two layered windings and wonder what
holds the inner windings to the cross-pipes. Are wire (other?) stays
used, I can't resolve that in the pic.?

About how much C is used in tuning? Fixed of fixed and variable amounts
of C?
