Many thanks for all the helpful responses! I do have many toroid cores in stock already but almost all are FT-50-xx and T-50-xx. I'll do the research and the math and give it a try when antenna building season arrives. It's still a little too cold and wet for that at the moment.

I'm talking 100 watts maximum transmitter output here. Any down side to doing this?
