I started with 18 turns on the OSC primary and the radio worked up to 1200 on the dial, then cut out. Terry suggested more turns so I went to 22 turns. Turned out to be 4.0 ohm with 38 ga wire. Helped somewhat but still not getting the local station at 1470. Did notice a couple of green dots on the secondary winding which may be the cause of it cutting out. At any rate the point I was trying to make....18 turns or 22 turns, it still should work if wound the correct direction.
