[TCML] Parallel Wound Secondary

[Thomas Schmit <Thomas.Schmit@xxxxxxx>]

Has anyone every tried winding two conductors in parallel on the secondary? I wound an 8" diameter coil with about 800 turns of two 23 awg wires in parallel. Unfortunately, I dropped the coil and damaged a section. But I was wondering if anyone else has tried this. When I wind my new secondary (knowing what I now know...) should I do two wires in parallel? I was planning on making my new secondary with 18 awg wire but I'm curious about what would happen if I ran two in parallel.
 
I suppose it would hurt the performance from a lumped-element perspective and help the performance from the transmission-line resonator perspective.
