I intend to build a thirty-two turn primary with wires pitched 5/8" apart the
width of my mounting board is too small to permit such an arragement with a 3"
secondary at the centre -allowing or not for the customary 1" spacing between
primary and secondary.
 
My planned solution is to raise the secondary ABOVE the primary on insulated
supports -so the primary radius will in effect be within the radius of the
secondary. Is this OK?
