That's so - the wire was the regular stuff with self fluxing varnish. I've
used it with high rf voltages and high rf currents without any problems
before, so I don't think the varnish is lossy enough to account for this.
Clearly, the current distribution in wires in a twisted bundle, and/or
within each wire, isn't even.
Thanks to all for the various comments along the way. I'll try not to use
'litz' in such a sloppy fashion in the future.
