Paul, in approaching the problem from your viewpoint havn't you set yourself
the task of winding an inductor to have a particular value of Q ?

If you intend to use a solenoid then Q can be increased only by increasing
its physical size without changing its proportions too much.

Utimately you will need to know what is the Q of a particular size coil,
number of turns, wire gauge, etc. It will be reduced by its proximity to
other components and circuit board by some indeterminate amount. I think
you should stop and check whether you have room for the coil in the
equipment space available. ;o)

Program SOLNOID2 may be of assistance in this onerous task.
