[TCML] Winding a secondary?

[Mark Olson]

Rob,

If I were to splice my secondary winding, and I may,
I would make the splice where it is in the lower part of the coil.

My coil has 777 turns of #17 wire on it and I would like to add
about 300 more turns.  Fortunately, my coil's construction lends
itself for this:  the coilform is long enough;  it extends through the
base of the frame by a couple of feet.  Since the top of the coil
doesn't need any modification, I plan to add the wire to the low
voltage end of the secondary and simply raise the coilform
appropriately.
