Litz wire was used in the old IF transformers giving a much needed higher Q, I wound some homebrew IF transformers once with single wire, the response was a bit flat.
WWV at 60 khz use Litz wire in their transmitter coils, Litz wire reduces skin effect up to certaim frequencies.
It is a sod to tin though, with enameled wireI never bother trying to scrape the ends I just burn it of with a fully loaded soldering iron.
