Greg,

> Is the 1.6" diameter the inside or the outside of the #10 wire?

That is to the inside of the wire.  I used a 1" PVC form (1.35" OD) and allowed it to expand a little.  #10 AWG is 0.102" dia.

The N-connector is centered on the circumferance of the wire.  The reference I gave was my original 16-turn helix at http://members.aol.com/k5oe
