I've got the standard set of 4 (A-D). I'd really like to find E and F coils (AM broadcast band) someday.
According to the 'frequency ranges' section of this page:
http://www.radioblvd.com/National%20HRO.htm 'AC' (15M ham band) falls within the range of 'A'. I've not finished my HRO yet (was recapped but needs some troubleshooting and odds and ends dealt with), but I'm curious: Is there a meaningful advantage in having an AC coil if you already have an A? I'd imagine having the 15M band spaced out over the whole dial with AC has advantages in tuning convenience, but is it really that much trickier to tune 15M on A to make AC worthwhile?
