Yes, exactly that.

Same here, though all on a smaller scale of operations than Colin.
OK, here's a question: any recommendations for a coil former material

quite warm during RTTY contesting - not hot enough to indicate a design
problem, but even a moderate increase in temperature makes the
fibreglass tubing former smell quite unpleasant.
