Very cool Wilby
Did you see any advantages vs magnetic cores?

thanks mags,
higher frequencies, i don't know if that's an advantage, i guess it would depend on your goal.  i can't tell you exactly what freq. they were running at. the only scope i have at the moment is my virtins pocket instrument on my dell axim v51 pocket pc. it is limited by the sound card.

In the pdf, goto page 107  then read, 3. Magnetic/electric relationship. 
I could not copy the text from the pdf.
Very interesting how he explains that he gets an increase in volts and amps in his air core transformer.
Let me know what you think. Not sure if it can apply here. It seems that the freq you all are working with that it might.

I just checked again and it worked for me by clicking the link in my post. Maybe you need to update your Acrobat reader. Other than that I have no idea why it is not working for you. The file size is 2.38 MB.

question here
i wrap one tor-60
secondarys... back and forth in till i got 700 turns and it got me 125volts on the scope
should i wrap all the way around.. in layers to try to get higher volts...
i got one with 426 turns that gives me 357volts.. one layer
i also ordered some 3055's to see if that helps...
is it that i wrap it right handed...
