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....
