Rook Coils for Crystal Radios

This is the original 5 inch Rook coil form based on Darren Hennig's concept.  These coils were wound on this removable form.

Why Rook Coils?

- Easier to Wind than Traditional Basket Weave Coils
- Higher Efficiency than Standard Solenoid Coils
- Free Standing with Form Removed
- Attractive Cylindrical Shape
- Shorter Coil Length is an Option
- Enhanced Co-Winding of Bifilar Windings

In short they are efficient, cool coils that are actually fun to wind. And coils that are fun to wind are the ones that will get wound. If you like to experiment with many coils, this is the one for you.
