Hi Reuben,

Matt gave some great tips. Something I'm curious about is your 
secondary. You state that it is plastic insulated wire. Is this hook up 
wire of sorts? If so, the insulation will be quite thick as opposed to a 
normally used magnet wire for a secondary which will greatly reduce the 
turns. Can you count the number of turns within a 1" length and let us 
know how many you counted?

Take care,
Bart
