RE: [TCML] Tuning primary to secondary with a scope

["Phil Tuck" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The secondary in place will give a different frequency than when measured
away from the coil. It is not a great amount on # my # coil, but different
coils may be affected more. The correct way is meant to be with the
secondary moved away from the primary, but I tend to do it in place (as I do
the primary). This, to my thinking, more closely resembles the real
world-running situation. I can get 3.5 times the secondary length with
careful tuning using simulated streamers, so for me it works, but for other
coils that may not be the case.

Alright. Should I elevate the secondary as it would be on the rig for the
same reason?

I Appreciate it,
