Original poster: "D.C. Cox" <resonance@xxxxxxxxxx>The chicken wire works very good. I use turkey wire (finer mesh) and easier to work with. If you contact me off-list I will email you photographs of our super large 10 ft x 60 inch dia. toroid made with turkey wire, plywood, and styrofoam.

I'll probably build a chicken wire toroid anyway, but I wanted to ask for opinions on the performance of a chicken wire-based topload vs Aluminum ducting. I currently have a 4" inner diameter Al duct as my topload and I get about streamers breaking out of about 5-6 places simultaneously. Is is true that with a perfectly smooth toroid there tends to be one large streamer instead of many smaller ones? Thanks! Justin in Austin
