FYI, some of the dealers on Amazon send them in an unpadded envelope and 
arrive in crumbles. I had to return 2 shipments and 1 of them still isnt 
refunded.I dont thinkthey can identify how many they got back due to them just 
being a hand full of stone chunks. LOL
Palomar engineers packs them very well and has a competitive price.

 This is a great time to note, we have a Hamfest coming up on Feb 20th and 
21st.I am sure we will have lots of great items there.
BUT!!! If you can not wait, DigiKey has been where I have been getting what I 
need lately if EPO (Electronics Part Outlet)  does not have it.Last time I 
bought on, it was like 4 dollars.

Howdy all,
I was just about to start winding a 49:1 for Big John's QRP EFHW, when I 
accidentally knocked the ferrite core off the table. 
It struck the tile floor and exploded in a spectacular crash. 

Does anyone have a toroid source to recommend? I am looking for a common 
FT50-43. 

Are DigiKey, Newark, Mouser, and the like still our best choices? They are on 
Amazon, but delivery is way out..
