my reference goes back even further. W1FB made a Minooka special for his 
tower during the beginning of his 160 phase. He close wound a coil on white 
PVC. It burned up due to inductive heating and this was back before we 
could run full power on the band. I think this was written up in one of his 
160 articles but I couldn't find it in my file.

I do remember his next iteration was with delrin or some other material 
that didn't ignite. he told me it was quite a site to see and the neighbors 
had a real laugh at his expense!
