Mike,

For the diameter driver you are using 2" would probably be a good start.
If the coupling factor is as high as it should be for good results you
>>probably will<< have to add insulation between the driver coil and
primary. Ideally the measured K factor should be .450 or higher, the higher
the better! :^)
