Sorry about that .. did not measure the L.. but 3 turns of number
12 wire 1inch diameter is what memory tells me.  Grounded grid.
Eimac plastic sockets.  Was very repeatable in all the amps I built
and several others that had problems.
Covered 160 to 10.. (with a shorting bandswitch a must I must add)
