Hello, list

I finally decided to measure the Q of my coil.  I have a measured DC resistance
of 26.7 ohms.  According to E-T5, my coil's operating frequency is about
125kHz.  The inductance is calculated to be 33mH by WinTesla.  Putting this
into
the equations gives me a Q of 970!

This number seems about 5 times too high, and my primary tuning isn't terribly
finicky.  Is this high of a Q possible?

Thanks,

Mark B.
