Mike and all, Loadstone quoted $5.4506 each for quantities of 1 to 249 pieces. They do have a minimum order of $50. Very nice on the phone. I'm ordering for our Tennessee Contest Group, so we will exceed the minimum by a little bit ;o) This should kill the last of the garbage on my 160M

Thanks to all for the replies... Didn't quite get an answer to the -J versus -31, but still useful. Jim, ask for a quote from whom? WX0B or Fair-Rite? Cheers, Julius On Mon, 06 Apr 2009 17:03:50 -0400, Jack Smith wrote: You might wish to experiment with Steward mix 35 or 40 toroids. Mix 35
