5 KC AM filter project

[Joe]

I did originally think about gimmicks but then wondered why it wasn't done
originally by the contractor who built the heath filters.
I am going to try all of the suggestions and plot the filter curves.
I was concerned about spurs, or leakage with the larger twisted gimmicks
Thank everyone, will let you know what happens.
Joe
