my reference goes back even further. W1FB made a Minooka special for his
tower during the beginning of his 160 phase. He close wound a coil on white
PVC. It burned up due to inductive heating and this was back before we
could run full power on the band. I think this was written up in one of his
160 articles but I couldn't find it in my file.
I do remember his next iteration was with delrin or some other material
that didn't ignite. he told me it was quite a site to see and the neighbors
had a real laugh at his expense!
