I am responding this way as I can't read your email address. The ending is blocked and I don't know how to get around that. Go to YouTube and look under "Winding toroids" and watch a few.

I became a ham in Dec 2021. Passed Basic with Honours. So I am very new.

I can¡¯t send a picture since I tried 3 times to do the winding so it would look like your picture. The last time taking it apart I didn¡¯t pay enough attention and lost the FT50-43 toroid.

I always seemed to be short about a half inch. I used vice to hold toroid, alligator to hold first end and pulled hard- no luck ¨C and wire piece measures 6 inches. Look at for length

Comments and questions:
- Can I use any 20 gauge coated wire or is special wire required? #26 is usually good enough. Don't chintz on the quality.
- I can buy toroid from kits and parts. Yes Consider buying more than necessary to reducing cost each. You'll find projects for them (e.g., antenna tuner) I requested a quote on 3 ft of the wire from NNC if they will sell me such a small amount. Siill waiting their quote.
- Can I buy replacement parts from you? Both parts of L2 2ft wire and toroid.. I am in Canada and how would I pay you?

Thank you for responding to me.
