Re: FREE NST's

No it won't work as listed, It looks like you will tune at 11-12 turns with
that small
of a toroid. Your coil will perform much better with a larger toroid say
25-28" by
6-8". then you will have to tap your primary out to around 15-16 turns or
more.
I have 16 pri. turns on my 6" coil with much less turns on the secondary
~1050 turns.
So 8 turns is not enough to allow you to optimize your coil.
I'll comment more when I have time.
Good luck
