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
