Ha, very good Ed! Never considered such a high turn coil. Duh!

Take care,

Here's the design of an 8 kHz TC I whipped up last night:

Diameter:  8 inches, height: 30 inches

101,182 turns of #40 SF wire

Wire length 21,327 feet, weight 0.66 pounds, DC resistance 2237 2 ohms

Inductance 4.1896 henries

Self-capacitance 14.5 uuFd

Resonant frequency unloaded 20.4 kHz

Toroid top load 72" OD, 24" tubing, capacitance ~79.2 uuFd

Resonant frequency loaded = 8.04 kHz

    Who wants to build it?
