Re: Winding a Spiral Primary

Dr., there are a few things that will help. is the coil unsupported after it
is wound or is it held by some kind of form?
second, tight turns usually require air pressure or liquid held under
regulated pressure to prevent flat spotting.
the amount of tension you pull while winding can make a great difference.
hit me off list if you wish to chat on the subject ka1bbg-at-webryders.net
