Hand-made Inductor

Tweakers' Asylum

Tweaks for systems, rooms and Do It Yourself (DIY) help. FAQ.

Hi All,
I'm trying to do a hand-made air-core inductor with some 18AWG red copper magnet wire which I now have:
Question 1: Should I use a thicker wire or thinner for better results?
Question 2: Does te uniformity of the winding make much difference? As I'm using hand to wind so I know this can't be perfect.
Thanks in advance for all your great advices.
