Hi Kreso,
     Do you have any evidence to support your claims that the Geek Group 
MMC recommendations do not work? There is much experimental evidence to 
indicate that they DO perform as stated, in the form of dozens of working 
coils using configurations from those charts. Most serious coilers prefer 
physical evidence to opinion, and the more those opinions are at variance 
with generally tested and accepted theory, the more compelling evidence to 
the contrary is required. Those who are long on acrimonious verbiage and 
short on physical evidence tend to lose credibility, and credibility, once 
lost, is hard to regain.  I very much doubt that YOU would wish to acquire 
a reputation for "broadly bombastic Bodenisms". ;^)) So, what have to got 
to show us in the way of verifiable experimental results?
