Hi All, 

Just wanted to point out to any new coilers - all these coupling measurements
are at this piont only to check measured against calculated values. Even with
this data, we all still need to just raise or lower the secondary to acheive
decent and non-destructive coupling on our coils. But with the help of programs
like acmi, we can now begin to identify what the coupling is on our coils. This
future data will then mature into a program that will allow us to calc the best
primary dimensions and position for any given coil - there will be bumps in the
road along the way. 

Take care, 
Bart
