Right Bill,

The coil is from some very large LF gear,  its actually a variac, 8 inch 
diameter and
14 inch log.  wound with 1/4 inch plated copper ribbon.  has a large 
variable coil
inside, close to one end with a shaft to turn it of course.
Need to tap the coil to resonate my 160 meter vertical on 475KHZ. and a 
tap to feed
power to the coil up from the ground end.
Have some roller coils good for many many KW but they are not large 
enough inductance
wise.

Years back would sure liked to have had a bag full of the coil clips for 
antenna tuners
and open wire line I was using.
