It seems that Malcolm's toroid on his coil has such a large ROC, that it may be tuned correctly, yet still barely breakout. This may be why he's getting such good results. It would be interesting to see if Malcolm's coil's tap points, etc. indicate a perfect tune between pri/sec. Probably you've calced all that anyway Malcolm? If Malcolm's coil calcs out to be tuned, this would suggest the tuning model is working well. Even if Malcolm's primary is tuned lower than Fsec, it may be *closer* to a proper tune than my TT-42.
