Thanks for that Mark.

Can I cross-check a set of numbers with you?

>From the closewound data, H/D=4, with no added topload, 
your entry is 

H/D   F(kHz) Rskin  Rdc
4.00  224.0   43.6  39.6

My figures diverge at Rskin. I get a skin depth of 0.141 mm into
a conductor radius 0.28 mm, giving a used area of 75%.

So I get an Rskin of 39.6/75% = 52.8 ohms.

Perhaps you could check my skin depth estimate?
