    That design doesn't have a name yet. It is a type of basket coil maybe wicker coil?
    Or how about vertical zig zag (VZZ for short)?

    There is less inductance because of the spacing between windings. Though I made a
    basket with the same wire I had made a loose wound coil and it came out to ~ the same
    inductance;

    Very pretty and reminiscent of the old shortwave coils.

    Magnet wire coil

    I'm still trying to use my spool of 28awg magnet wire I purchased probably 40 years ago. I tried a coil today. Don't know what the winding is called. I think I've seen it on the site somewhere. Mostly I've seen spiral, basket and bundled winding. Are there negatives to winding this way? The coil inductance is lower than I was trying for. Including some test data. I had to redo the shield and need to test for shielded resonance and do a little more testing. So far I think it looks alright.
