So what?
You can compensate for shorted turn effect.

I have a 6 inch minor with the bottom 5.5 inches above the top of the
winding on my 8 inch. Runs on a pig with no problems. As I understand it you
get it as high as possible while still providing shielding. The lower it is
the more it acts like a shorted turn. My height was based on a
recommendation by Dr Res I thought.

Phil
