Re: ultimate secondary material

Hi Mark
A perspecitve, thin wall PVC is a very popular choice, cheap and works very
well. No doubt better plastics could be used. The cost vs coil improvment
factor for a $ spent on a better secondary material vs money spent on the
Gap or Capacitors is where I would put my money
