Pete / Joe ; thanks for the advice !

Here's the URL for Skycroaft in Orlando...Litz wire source ( & probably more !)


http://www.skycraftsurplus.com/

- Since I've got the loop wrapped in magnet wire already I'll try that first..
- really not critical for what i'm doing;
I guess I could take some monofilament, spiral it around hte magnet wire in 1/2
/ 1/4 inch spirals, rewrap it & maybe get the same effect as when using Litz
wire..

- Wonder what they use for the Justice antenna . . ?
