Thanks Dave.

Note that the data behind my "Cookbook" is sensitive to wire size and insulation. This is because resonance is a function of inductance and stray (parasitic) capacitance. My data is for #12; while it will get you in the ballpark for #10, expect some shift in the curve of Z vs frequency.

There have been comments posted here before about the good performance for chokes and coils using silver plated Teflon coated stranded wire.  I just noticed that Skycraft Surplus is  offering some #10 (possibly too stiff unless using it on a 4 inch core) for $0.80 per foot.

For what it may be worth ...
