Hi Terry,

thank you very much for your detailled explanations. Now I understand the
interactions a little bit better.

For which tranny voltage does this value apply?

So this configuration is the goal!

A kind of life insurance?

Thanks for the interestant info, but I've got the feeling that I should
leave this design to the really experienced coilers in the moment ;-) 

Safe coiling to you!
