I was lucky enough to be given a pretty large reel of insulated Al 
wire. It seems reasonably durable and I have no reason to think it 
won't work fine in a TC secondary. I will most certainly wind one with 
it one of these days.

BTW - I have an apology to make - I didn't do the coil expts I 
promised last weekend as I had a sick wife to attend to. However, all 
should be on for this weekend and I have a fellow coiler coming over 
to participate.

Regards,
Malcolm
