 good idea to me.

Chris,

If you are going to add a couple of loops somewhere, I would suggest adding
them to the primary.  It is usually possible to add more outside turns.
Adding wire or loops anywhere else in the primary circuit would be off axis,
very lossy and probably noisy RF wise - that power has to go somewhere.  From
an efficiency standpoint, it would be like setting a maximum of 80% on the
variac.
