Hi,
Malcolms puzzle got me thinking about the behavior
of a conventional TC's secondary coil. I was wondering
if it truly does act as a 1/4 wave transformer with a
nice smooth transformation from bottom to top. or
Could the ratio be somewhat misshapen by the effects
of coupling from the primary or a top load that is not
sized correctly.
Is it possible that ill effects such as over coupling,
frequency doubling, spectral impurity are a result of some
action like this.
May be this could be an explanation of why the turns in
the top 1/3 of my TC want to short while the lower 2/3
are very happy.
May be it's why you build a magnifier.
Trying hard not to be cryptic........
