I think that humidity & temperature may change Q of
secondary in the lines of coilform watter absorbtion
capabilities.I expect this effect is expressed more
than change in cooper resistance caused by temperature
variation.
For various coilforms used ,the effect is
different,but in some cases predominant.
Thus,we may be talking in terms of variation of
intrisic C of coil,more than variation of air
permitivity that influences external C.

regards,
Boris
