Here's the scoop.. I found myself a wonderful form.. 18.5" x 60" Just perfect to wind with some 18AWG for a monster coil.. except... Finding 5000+ feet of unbroken wire is proving to be a problem. How do you monster coil winders handle this? I could solder the connection, but I wonder about the resistance induced, as well as the "bump" that just asks for breakout.
