Do you have good reason to believe that AWG 30 is the proper
gauge, and that your calculations are correct?

Yields both the correct inductance and DC resistance with #30
AWG for the assumptions I've made for the physical size of the
coil bobbin.

If so, then buy the wire and do it. If it doesn't work, you're
out only $20 and the time it took to wind the coil.

I don't know enough about solenoids to properly judge your
calculations. But I don't see anything obviously wrong.

And that's why I thought I'd ask here. I was hoping to find
someone that _is_ familiar enough to at least tell me, "Yeah,
you seem to be heading in the right direction."
