The only real question is whether the necessary number of turns will
fit if you use the larger wire. Won't be a problem if you're building
for 20 meters or higher. Might be if you're doing a 40 meter build,
and even with the stock wire they don't fit if you're doing 80 meters.
Aside from that, it won't change the operation of the circuit enough
to matter.

A group of us are beginning our efforts to construct the QCX CW transceiver.
We noted that the transformer wire size is specified (page 50) at #28
enamelled. The wire size for L1, L2, L3 and L4 is not specified.
In the unlikely possibility that we have a problem (ya right) could #26 wire
(I have a spool of #26 and #30 but no #28 - sigh) be substituted for the
transformer and/or windings?
