after winding my 40m T1 as the manual suggests i had nothing but an uncountable mess on my hands!? so i wound them separately, putting a tiny dab of hot glue on each one as i finished it in order to tame it.? it worked great, and so does my QCX.

I am new to building and having an extremely difficult time winding and installing T1 for the 40 meter kit. This has been my first effort at winding toroids. Between my eyesight and dexterity it's not coming together by doing it one time with the loops delineating the 5 turn windings. I have done it and redone it a number of times. I find the hand drawn diagram, by WA4MZS on page 50 very clear. Is there any reason why I cannot/should not do the windings separately following the wire winding pattern/sense in the diagram? Thank you for your guidance. Ron, AL7JR
