Compact coil kit assembly

The next photos illustrate the assembly of the compact coil form. The assembly process for the
full size coil is the same except that different hole sets may be used

First, tin the end of the enamel wire by heating with a
blob of solder. Feed extra solder in as necessary and
you will see the enamel begin to peel off and the solder
will coat the bare end. Tin approximately 0.25 to 0.5"
of the wire to prepare it for connection at the crimp
terminal later.

For winding the compact coils, use the same
technique and winding chart as for the full size 6"
coils. There is sufficient space on the form for
winding coils for 30M and higher.
The coil forms have 4 holes used for securing the ends
of the coils during and after winding. See the photos
and chart below for information:

This drawing shows how the wire is
routed when winding the coils. When
using the inner sets of holes, the wire can
be run through the hole set at the end of
the coils and then looped back through the
next hole set to provide additional security
and protect the wire.
