[Lowfer] Re: Finally completed my LOWfer Variometer

Yep, it's 8pm now and still solid copy. Nothing like seeing immediate
results to the work you put in!

I do agree with Peter about the coil. You want to minimize resistance
by using the least amount of turns necessary, so if you are having to
cancel out a large portion of the inductance of your main coil with
the vari coil, perhaps you would get even better results by removing
some turns. That may be a project for another weekend, however.
Hopefully you will get some signal reports from other listeners soon!
