Ok, I picked up the piece of PVC that I was planning to make my secondary out
of.  Yes, It was dirty, and cut unevenly, but I was going to clean it up. Then
I thought, "PVC isn't that expensive, why not get a brand new piece?" So that
left me with a choice, stay with 4.5" or should I go up to 6"? The wire I have
is #20, and a 4.5" would only be around 800 turns max. With 6", I could get
more turns without exceding the H/W ration limit. My question is, Would this be
ok for my setup: ?

Thanks,
