John D.,

Yes, I know it's under powered.  Your recommendation makes two so far for 
the 6" minor diameter.  I had originally thought to use the 4 x 15.5 from my 
previous coil which I over powered ironically.  But after talking with Bart, 
he was thinking it should have a major diameter in the 27-30" range.  That 
seems to be the same consensus so far on the list, the only difference is an 
increase in the minor.
