Re: Flat vs V shape Primary

Technically speaking, neither is "best".  of cource,
there are advantages to both styles:

I've found that a Inverted Cone primary gives better
coupeling, especially for tall coils (ie: +5:1).  Flat
spiral(AKA: pancake) seems much easyer to tune and
allows more leway for future coils.  I personally
prefer a Inverted Cone or Helical for their "compact
construction".  Dont forget that you can use insulated
wire for your inverted cone prmary, thus eliminating
the difficulty associated with their construction
