Hi Brett,

Thanks for the compliment. I like the clean simplicity of the ribbon primary
too. Gary Lau pointed out that bronze has a significantly higher resistance
than pure copper, so I'm a little concerned about that. It sure doesn't seem
to cause many problems for Terry Blake though.

I measured the primary and get the following:

Resistance: 0.4 Ohm
Inductance: .20 mH
