Default Re: First Radio Build - 12V HT system

Simplest- get hold of some wirewrap insulated wire or even the thinnest PVC insulated wire you can get hold of. Wind on 8 turns, form a loop of whatever length you may need to reach its connection point in your build by twisting about half an inch together, then wind on the rest. Secure the coil on the rod using hot melt glue, ty-raps or even just sticky tape. leave the top tail long enough to add turns if needed for the right frequency coverage, removing a few is easy anyway.
