Hello Coilers,

I am about to start building the secondary of my first (small coil), I
have 
some Acrylic rod and thought of using this for the former.  Being soild
I 
would be able to screw and bolt connections to the former.  I would
think 
losses would go up slightly as opposed to sealed tube construction but
not 
enough to be a problem.  Would there be any other problems using a solid 
plastic core?

Also, I was thinking about half wave coils, not many people seem to
build 
these.  Why is this?  

I look forward to receiving your replies.
