Dr. Resonance,
In your design notes for the model M-50 you recommend 24 AWG.  There 
is a considerable difference between 24 and 30.
Can you explain what the differences will do to performance?  I was 
planning to go with the 24 gauge and my form is now in the lathe 
ready to wind.  Do I need to reconsider?
