Hi Chris,

This doesn't sound right.  I don't have a conversion chart handy, but here
are the values

12 gage wire yields a 4 foot diameter coil with 295 turns and 1866 feet of
wire.
14 gage wire yields a 4 foot diameter coil with 372 turns and 2353 feet of
wire.

Hey all,

I am just about to build a large flat secondary coil.  The wire length will
be 2000ft, the wire dia is 1.6mm. I *think* this will be 500 turns at about
4foot dia.  Anyone got any ideas if that sounds about righ before I wind the
thing ?

Thanks,
chris
