[TCML] Secondary Coil: Wire Gauge and Number of Turns



So I'm thinking of further heeding the advice of the majority party and try
even thicker wire on the secondary.

876 Turns of 20 AWG, 28" x 6.6" (4.25:1)

Moving my playground to JavaTC, I find I'm getting drastically smaller
primary coil tap point values: just six turns!

I've included the plain text output, BUT BEFORE we delve into that mess, I
have one more question I couldn't quite find the answer to: What is
"Secondary Q"?

Thank you all very much!
