6ga wire vs 1/4 tubing for 900W coil primary?



Original poster: "Coyle, Thomas M." <tcoyle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Does anyone see any advantages or drawbacks (functionally) to using stranded wire for a primary instead of copper tubing? I was going to use 1/4" tube, but have a boatload of 6awg stranded wire sitting here, which will be an awful lot easier to work with, and I figure that I can strip an inch or so of insulation on the outer turns for the taps, leaving the rest insulated.

I also have bigger wire, if that's necessary.

Many thanks,

Tom
