	Spoke badly.  Litz wire means lower linear packing density which is a
	BAD thing, that is, one wnats as much conductivitt per length of coil
	as possible.  Thats is: do not space wires.  Use good sized wire in
	secondary.  (not the #30 of my yout, years ago...).  Since Litz wire
	has insulatin interwoven among the strands, the coil will be longer for
	the same number of turns (assuming equal conductor area...)
