Hi Ray,No, do you want to completely strip large gage copper wire to tap and tune? Perhaps there is some reason concerning the wire is stranded but I doubt it, I think it is all about convenience for tuning and mechanical ease of making a tap.

Obviously wherever I look people are using copper tubing for their primary coil, but I can't figure out for the life of me why people use copper tubing over fairly large gauge copper. It seems copper wire would be much cheaper and easier to work with. Is it merely a difference in the inductance values? Thanks, -Ray
