Hi Robert,
 I think you may misunderstand the Litz specification.
 The label 12/36 means 12 strands of # 36 wire.
  Yes, I am thinking about using the litz for the secondary,
however, I want find out if the litz is any better than a #22 wire regarding
the A.C. resistance at about 300Khz.

Clarifying note;
        A #22 wire is the same diameter as my 12/36 litz.
I want to use the litz to raise the Q of my secondary.
                                                    Mike
