LF: Wire choice for tx loop

["J. B. Weazle McCreath" <weazle@hurontel.on.ca>]

Hello LFers,

 

Would I be correct in thinking that eight paralleled 22 gauge wires,

each separately insulated, would be a better choice than a single

10 gauge wire for a transmit loop?  The current capability at D.C.

or less than a few kilohertz is about the same, but the skin effect

should come into the picture at the frequencies we're using, and

hence make the 8 x 22 a better choice.  It's jacketed telephone

"house" wire and I've been given a huge roll of it.
