[TowerTalk] Loading Coils

[Per Molund]

Steve,

I think You are right about the wire, see the product descriptions;

    /The wire is 10 gauge tined solid copper wire. The coil support bars
    are polycarbonate. I have included an extension with two screw holes
    on each coil support bar for ease of mounting in the desired
    orientation. /

Only the main webpage mention nickel-plated wire. (The description for 
one of the coils say tined (???) solid copper wire in the first 
paragraph but nickel-plated in the second paragraph. However the second 
paragraph seems to be a copy-paste of the main webpage.
