Does anyone see any advantages or drawbacks (functionally) to using
stranded wire for a primary instead of copper tubing? I was going to
use 1/4" tube, but have a boatload of 6awg stranded wire sitting
here, which will be an awful lot easier to work with, and I figure
that I can strip an inch or so of insulation on the outer turns for
the taps, leaving the rest insulated.
I also have bigger wire, if that's necessary.
Many thanks,
Tom
