Hello all:
    I have a few more questions for the group. 
1.  Is it true that a small secondary coil say 3" diameter by 12" long wound 
with #28 wire, would be much harder "shorten the life" of a MMC cap array, 
then say a secondary coil say 4" by 30" wound with #20 wire? 
2.  Have many people tried using the large disposable aluminum pans the kind 
used for roosting a turkey one inverted on top of the other, as a cheap 
toroid? Wouldn't look to great, but sure would save some money.
Thank you all for the help,
Leslie
