You mean <http://hem.passagen.se/communication/aircoil.htm>? (Many hits on
"aircoil.htm".) But I think the aircoil calculations are rather
straightforward -- if they work :)

If I understand you correctly, you seem to say that using self-made
aircoils is a lot safer (in the sense of fewer "rinse and repeat" cycles :)
than using PCB coils?
