Quick newb question

[IrishUpstart]

When I see "you rba people" talking about your assembly, I often see the use of numbers like 4/5 and 3/2 (could be the other way around). I imagine that one of the numbers is the amount of loops with in the wire but cant decipher it completely. Am I way off? I figure this is stuff I should know as I am (hopefully) soon going to get onboard the rba train....

If you look at a coil from one side it will have 1 more wrap than the other, hence, the 10/11

Seriously, tho, I just ordered some skinny version of the nextel (maybe 1.5mm OD instead of 3mm). I'm itching to see if it'll go where the silica won't go, inside one of those crazy S_X_D wraps.
