Hi Robert,

A 4-5" diam secondary with about 1000 T of #24 should work well for
15/30-60-90, only the top load and the cap will change. You will probably need
a 6x36 -at-90ma but a 4x24 will work -at-60ma and a 4" sphere or small toroid would
work -at-30ma.
These are good middle-of-the-road numbers to get you started.
Hope this helps,
Matt D.
