"Chuck asks:
What is the issue(s) with using only toroids for a tank circuit?
One problem you can have is being able to get thick enough wire on to
the core. At 1500 watts, you can have a lot of current in that coil, so
you need a hefty...(etc.)"
For the low bands, I have used 10 gauge on Amidon's biggest red core.
But I want to try two or three paralleled #10's, taped together with
glass like a ribbon for 40M next. I have only used several layers of
glass tape on the core for insulation with 'enamel' wire wound over it
with 3KV and no problems. As per standard practice, have forced air flow
through the tank compartment.
