Jay:
I could possibly re-arrange the wires by moving them down and doing the parallel
connection. I remember that Laurence kept adding parallel sections to his  loops
resulting in greater current. 

I notice that the loop current did not increase very much ----maybe from 15A to 15.3A
which I was puzzled about  - expecting more. We might have a few more days above 
freezing and I could throw a few more wires along the line.
Thanks for the input.
