Im using a variation of the 10 gallon w5jgv 3 bucks home depot bucket and
others designs here. With "a 5 gallon bucket" in use here of around 70T of
heavy appx 600(?) filament litz and 1:1 spacing the Q is very good and
losses low. The coil sits under a shed overhang and Ive not had any arcing
across the former material with a few hundred watts applied.
I see lengths of this heavy duty litz wire are being sold again on Ebay (4
days left) - search "litz"
Took the 10-30Mhz LPDA and 6m arrays which were above the LF antennae, a
very small reduction in loading - not even enough to cause a retune.

ps - nothing from 185K last night, but given the Xray/Geo....
