80 Meter Coil Assembly
Note: This coil kit is an option, not part of the standard kits.
Parts:
PVC coil form, light gray (1)
Aluminum end caps (2)
8-32 x 3/8” stainless Phillips screws (4)
#8 internal tooth lock washers (4)
#8 ring terminals (2)
#22 insulated copper wire
The coil is assembled using the 2 larger end caps, the larger light gray PVC coil form and 4
of the 8-32 x 3/8” screws. Four #8 lock washers and 2 #8 ring terminals are used. Two
lock washers go on one side to secure the screws and the 2 ring terminals are used for
connecting the coil windings.
Insert the end caps, align the screw holes
and insert the screws.
Once the end caps are installed,, the coil is ready for winding.

Start by winding 145 turns on the coil. This should almost entirely fill the space between
the hole set (A) At this point, you may prefer not to solder one end of the coil. This will
allow adjusting the coil without unsoldering. Once you are happy with the coil you may
choose to crimp or solder the wires to lugs or leave as is.
