[QUOTE="scotthbutler, post: 113411, member: 4040"] I am still waiting for my coil housing that I bought on eBay to arrive and the surf PI kit to come in the post. So I will start on the coils in the mean time. I hope they will fit in the housing when it gets here. my 14" coil will be made of 22 AWG Teflon coated wire with 17 turns giving me a theoretical inductance of 331 uHenries according to a coil calculator that I found on the Geotech forum. I am going to wind it first with a layer of Teflon spy wrap and then shield it with 3M 24 shielded tape finnished with another layer of spy wrap for protection. Once again photos to come very soon. I have chosen 22 AWG wire because it was easily available to me, 26AWG would of been my preference. Any members out there with any thoughts on my choices don't hesitate to comment or criticize.
