Re: Toroid on CW TC

Vladi: On a tube TC an actual toroid is not required, but tuning is required
as well as some type of arc emitter. A stand off insulator or arc wire to
keep the arcs off your secondary coil is kneaded to avoid burn damage.I use
capacitor tuning so I just tune my tube coil to match whatever I put on top.
