[Elecraft] Torroids? Left or Right Hand wind ??

Tue Aug 20 07:21:00 2002

Actually Jim you can wind them either way as long as the leads come out in
the correct places.  You can wind them forward or backwards but they still
must look like the drawings especially the transformer toroids.  I am right
handed and had no problems there even tho I am muscle bound with fat
fingers.
