You're OK. If you'll provide detailed specs of your
secondary, including the gauge of wire it is wound
with, the exact outside diameter of your secondary
(use a ruler), and the exact length of the winding,
anyone on this list can assist you in coming up with a
suitable primary circuit design to match it. You won't
need to fiddle with the toroid to tune it, you can
just use a tunable primary coil.

Greg
