Got sent by accident -- I would not try this except with a rugged tube amp and
watch it carefully feeding the series resonated case-
The core may heat very rapidly . I had decided to not send it .
I did basically the magnetizing flux portion years ago evaluating Q1 , Q2 Q3
Indiana General rods for a 1.5 KW
antenna loading coil application in the 1.5 to 3. 4 mhz region. Along with
heating we were looking at whether
there were any IMD issues at high levels of amp turns -We did not see any even
at levels that heated the cores so fast
it was a moot point . I also learned to not cool the cores too fast or I had a
lump of useles grey
