Hmmm  got ya.
Thanx for the idea behind your method, glad you sited your REASONS.
I have noticed all the coils in a particular range are about the same
height etc.  The bummer is all the seems to be offered for a reason as
to why they are that tall is, "well that's what works good."  Or
"Everyone else's is that way so it's the best rule."

I would be ok with following a chart or just plain ol' going with what
the masses say they have used as sooo many do, IF there were some
reasons as to why they are in those ranges.  I may have to bite the
bullet and just go with what ever THEY say is right.  But even if it is
beyond my comprehension as far as the actual calculations etc.  someone
out there should be able to explain why you don't go over or under a
certain dia or hieght for a certain power input if you want good
results.

Without going into the calculations one can explain why you want to
avoid a resonant size cap for an NST.  So why can no one offer solid
reasons for even one secondary dimension?

method to the madness...hmmm... well I used a lot of trial and error.
what I did was to choose a number of turns, wind a half inch count the
number of turns and find out how tall the sec coil will need to be. The
other thing I considered was that the height for nearly all other coils
in
my power range are very close.
oh and I forgot to mention that because my sec coil is so tall I now use
a
45*cone pri coil. (better coupling)
works like a freaking champ!

Read you later
