[TCML] using larger secondary wire for the base

[Scott Bogard]

Hey all,
     Quick question, I was trying to figure out a better way to attach 
my secondary to my ground and I thought of an idea.  Basically there is 
a danger of snapping off the secondary wire if I solder a heavier cable 
directly to the thin 22 AWG wire, unless I wrap a few turns of the 
heavier wire around the base and secure it so that I can solder them 
together and have no fear of the joint breaking in case something gets 
jiggled.  Is this a bad idea, I don't really see how, but I've never 
heard of anyone actually doing this.  Assuming I use two turns or so the 
inductance change should be negligible.  Thanks.

Scott Bogard.
