Hello Coilers,

Here's the starting design I've come up with for my first attempt at
building a magnifier style TC.  I'm open to any and all comments or
critisisms:

    Primary - 12 turns of 1/4" copper tubing on 10 inch
              PVC form, tapped at 8.8 turns. L = 40 uH.
              With a 0.011 uF. cap,  Fres = 320 kHz.

    Secondary - 8" x 24" of #12 (273 turns) on a 8 inch
                PVC form.  Approximate L = 4.34 mH.
                Fres = 700 kHz.

    Extra Coil - 4.2" X 16" of #22 on 4.2 inch PVC form
                 L = 8.34 mH.  Fres = 320 kHz with a
                 toroid of 22 pF.

    Toroid - 20" x 6" yielding 22 pF. as per WinTesla
             and other formulas.
