Hello again...

I have been running a secondary thats 4.5 inches dia, with 775 turns 22awg
mag wire.

I just read on someones coil page that the optimum # of windings is
actually 1600!

The catch is that everyone else that I've met, heard, etc. says that their
running anything from 500 to 2000 turns.

What IS the optimum # of windings??

Thanks
Erik
