Wayne, you must post this to the Elecraft site for all to enjoy. Six years is too long to see it again. It should go on the "Builder's Resource Page".

Here's a poem I wrote to inspire kit builders on this topic. I first posted it six years ago, when we had just started shipping the K2:

  that donut shape you're wielding
  is a wondrous thing to wind
  and also is self-shielding
  thus yielding peace of mind

Builders kept asking whether they should measure the inductance of toroids or just go with our specified number of turns, so I added a stanza:

  our mysterious reluctance
  to measure each inductance
  reflects not low virility:
  just unknown permeability

73,
Wayne
