I've received a lot of questions about the new coil:

The form is a pool chemical container from about 20 years past.
Resorting to a more sensible measurement standard I conclude the following:
Total turns counts 325
Coil length 375 mm
This indicates a wire size of AWG 17 which is 1.15 mm diameter (375 mm
/ 325 turns = 1.1538 mm per turn)
Coil diameter 350 mm
This calculates to approximately 24 mH which is close to the 25 mH I
initially measured which I later revised to 26.1 mH.
However I've made so many calculation errors recently this also may
change :)
