[Lowfer] Emission Designation

[Peter Barick]

Kent, LoFer's,
Been reading the mail on this new vertical application. Yeah, Kent, that's a heep-big coil.
Should end up weighty too. Some thoughts:

First, might not want o go the L/C route, not that efficient. Usual designs at LF call for
only an L, tuned with a vari-L, able to rotate in proximity to Mr. Biggy.
Plenty of notes around on that techneque.

Next, the wire. What size for your power? I believe Ol' Ralph from La is a master on
near-TeslaCoil windings. He also has a Web site w/ info. Ha, also, do you have the wire
or will you be paying a visit to say a HomeStore to buy $ome??
Hmm, is that a mile 'worth' of wire? ;-))

Last don't neglect the ground or counterpoise radials. Ya know broadcast stds. call for
120 of em. Yeeks, you'll need to also apply for a Fed loan--in 18 copies.

Well, enough scarry talk. Interested on your efforts and progress, as are others here on
the List.

Don't expect too much progress now that winter is knocking. So yours may be a spring project, eh?

GL and Happy Winding--Peter, also a vertical/tophat nut
