Yes, I've had this idea in the back of my head for some time, I even made an
extra secondary for the small coil I built recently, so I have two 80*320mm
coils to use as tertiaries. But don't expect anything in the near future, so
many things to do, and so little time...

I was thinking of a center-grounded secondary (located horizontally) and two
primaries in series to allow the coupling to be adjusted equally on the two
sides of the sec.

So Fres is the same as a single tertiary?
But with the secondary center-grounded it's more like a twin than a bipolar,
isn't it?

And now we come to the math, I have never built a maggie and i'm completely
lost on how to do the calculations on one, should L3-C3 be tuned to the same
Frequecy as L2-C2,  wich in turn is tuned to L1-C1?

Definitely need to read up a bit on this...
