[Moon-net] Advise on bifilar choke for 8877 filament

[Edward Cole]

I'm winding coils for my 2m-8877 PA (classic-W6PO design) and am 
wondering if I might use insulated #12 solid copper wire in place of 
enameled #12?  I will have to buy a complete spool of the enameled 
wire mail-order if that is necessary.  It appears to me that 
insulation in the bifilar choke is for dc voltage so insulation would 
likely only shift the inductance some.  I can check that with a MFJ-269.

So what's the opinion on this?
The remaining coils are all #14 copper which can be found locally.
