[Lowfer] Ground cold end of coil?

Eric,

>I will do that, but currently (again, no pun) I only have a piece-of->junk 
>digital multimeter that will not measure current.

That reminds me about the new digital meter I bought about a month ago at 
the local electronic supply store. The idea was to use it outside for tuning 
adjustments in any type of weather (you know.... semi- expendable) Darn 
thing cost only $15 but has features I don't have on my expensive meter 
including .6" display, back light (for measurements after midnight <G>), 
transistor checking, AND has one of those thick orange drop-proof cases. 
It's a Velleman DVM850BL.

>Yup.  I'm using Lyle's protoboard circuit with a 12.5V supply.  I >should

That's even more amazing! I had you figured for a lot more Vcc. I'm a bit 
concerned, though, that you may have used up all your 'transmitting luck' 
for the next 10 years!!

Bill
