    I just bought 5 spools of 22AWG mag wire.  I was planning on connecting 3 
of them together to wind my secondary with.  Would it be best for me to return 
these, or do you think it would not have a great affect on preformance.  I am 
useing a 4" X 22" secondary if that helps at all.  Thank you for the help!
