I concur.  When I was doing electronics work, we often had to push a lot of
power around in the 100 kHz region, and the only practical way we could find
to do this was to use Litz wire. Litz wire is a bundle of smaller insulated
wires, so that most of the it, even at the core of the bundle, can still be
the "skin".
