Malcolm, all,
OK, I plan to go ahead and install a higher Q secondary onto
my TC and see what happens. I figure I'll replace the 4 1/4" by 23",
#28 wire sec., with a 17" by 16" high, #20 wire sec., this should
give a much better Q, and a similar resonant frequency. Both coils
are close wound with enamel wire. I suppose
that even using my existing (6 1/2" by 26") toroid, I should see an
improvement. Let me know if you see any flaw in my plan.
I'll let you know what happens. Thanks for the info., and the info
in the other posts.
