Great idea!  I'll go see...  Nope.  Didn't make any difference.  I slid my
smaller Sonotube into my secondary coil and the inductance was still a
solid 75.4.  I even wrapped my arms around it and the reading stayed solid.
 If this is a real discrepancy, I should probably work on figuring this out.

Thanks a bunch!!
