In all fairness, I should point out that this is the coil where
*everything* is done wrong:
- braid connecting the bottom of the secondary to the lathe :(
- low inductance primary :(
- large primary cap :(
- dinky transformer :(
- stranded connecting wires in the primary :(
- unsealed thickwall PVC drainpipe for a secondary former :(
- 9" sphere for a topload :(
Still, it goes, although it goes *much* better with more Lp and a much
larger topload. Unfortunately the sphere was the only topload I had
here at the time Bert called in.
