My experience is that the diagrams in the Elecraft manuals (and PCB layouts) are intrinsically right-handed, and if you are left-handed as I am and don't really study the task well, you are likely to wind it backwards. For each new set of toroids I need to wind, I usually practice a couple of times with some loose hookup wire to make sure I still remember the moves.

If my memory serves me, there really is no such thing as a 1/2 turn ... each pass thru the donut is a turn. But then, my memory serves me less and less these days.
