Hello Coilers,
I am about to start building the secondary of my first (small coil), I
have
some Acrylic rod and thought of using this for the former. Being soild
I
would be able to screw and bolt connections to the former. I would
think
losses would go up slightly as opposed to sealed tube construction but
not
enough to be a problem. Would there be any other problems using a solid
plastic core?
Also, I was thinking about half wave coils, not many people seem to
build
these. Why is this?
I look forward to receiving your replies.
